ASHRAE will advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and related human factors to serve the evolving needs of the public and ASHRAE members.
ASHRAE
ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers is an international organization of 50,000 persons with chapters throughout the world. The Society is organized for the sole purpose of advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration for the public's benefit through research, standards writing, continuing education and publications. Through its membership, ASHRAE writes standards that set uniform methods of testing and rating equipment and establish accepted practices for the HVAC&R industry worldwide, such as the design of energy efficient buildings. The Society's research program, currently more than 100 research projects worth nearly $8 million, investigates numerous issues, such as identifying new refrigerants that are environmentally safe. ASHRAE organizes broad-based technical programs for presentation at its semiannual meetings and co-sponsors the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition, the largest HVAC&R trade show in North America.
When it is hot and muggy or when it is cold and bitter, it's easy to remember the great contributions of ASHRAE in advancing the air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating industries. How about "giving back" a little to help insure that research on the technologies of tomorrow can continue. Just fill out and mail the attached form with your check. Alternatively, you can contribute online by going to the Resource Promotion page on the Society website. Now that's COOL!

April showers bring May ... more showers?
We got lucky for the golf outing - the clouds parted and the sun came out and a good time was had by all. We also raised a good contribution for ASHRAE Research. Many thanks to Steve Fraley, who did a FANTASTIC job!
Not so lucky for the Dragons, although anyone who stayed got more than their money's worth as the game went to 11 innings before the Dragons went down to defeat.
The Green Expo is just a week away - Earn PDH points at the seminars and visit all of the vendors while you munch on snacks and beverages provided. This is a great, NO COST activity which just gets better every year.
This is my last newsletter as President - I have enjoyed the year and appreciated all of the hard work from the officers, committee chairs and other volunteers who are what makes this a great organization (and a special thanks to Tom Ferdelman for keeping our board meetings wellsupplied with donuts from Bill's).
I hope some of you will come with us to Akron for the Chapters Regional Conference July 31 - August 1. The Chapter will help with expenses - this is a great way to see what other ASHRAE chapters are doing. Contact any board member for more information.
Good luck to Jeremy Fauber as he takes over as President for next year. I hope you will all provide him with the great support you provided to me.
Sincerely,
Larraine A. Kapka, P.E.
There have been many questions from ASHRAE members regarding Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for renewing Ohio PE license for Engineers. Beginning in 2007, Ohio PE Registration renewal requires 15 CPDs. The PE Registration Board does not pre-approve courses nor does the board pre-approve providers. Each Registrant is responsible for their hours and to make sure that the courses they take meet the requirements and must include technical, ethical or managerial content. Typically 50 Minutes of content would account for one CPD. There are many ways to obtain CPD's just to mention few as outlined by the Ohio PE Board are as follows:
