Welcome to the Central Arizona Chapter of ASHRAE! Check out our Calendar for upcoming events.

president's Message: december 2020

Fellow ASHRAE Central AZ Chapter Members,

Happy Holidays to you and yours!  Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now Christmas… 2020 has slipped away, with the New Year just a few days away.  Wow!  I guess we better all get our New Year’s resolutions list put together.  You go first!

Despite not being able to meet monthly in person, we have had a pretty eventful Chapter year--- our make-up golf tournament was a great success, as was our I-10 Challenge Trap Shoot with the Tucson Chapter, and the turnouts for our Virtual Monthly Meetings have been fantastic (as have been our Distinguished Lecturer Speakers).  We are going to keep the momentum going for our January 5^th Virtual Monthly Meeting with a fantastic topic (“Data Center Industry in 2020 and Beyond”) presented by one of our Chapter’s own (former Chapter President Robert Sty, PE).  Be sure to register for this Zoom Webinar event on the Chapter web site ASAP if you have not done so already.

As Calendar Year 2020 closes, we want to look back on an important part of our Chapter’s reason for being--- Research Promotion--- and thank these Individuals and Organizations that donated at Honor Roll levels for the 2019-2020 Chapter Year:

Organizations:                                 

Individuals:                                       

If you are looking for a worthy cause for your annual donation dollars, we hope you will join these Members and contribute to ASHRAE Research, whether it’s in Calendar Year 2020 or 2021.  A Donation Portal is located on our Chapter webpage to make it easy.  If you have questions, contact RP Chair Matthew Watters at [email protected]. 

Happy New Year!!  See you at the January 5^th Virtual Meeting!

Overview of ASHRAE Guideline 36 - High-Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC Systems

 

Topic:

The presentation will provide an introduction and overview of Guideline 36, including example air-side system sequences. The purpose of ASHRAE Guideline 36 is to provide uniform sequences of operation for HVAC systems that are intended to maximize energy efficiency and performance, provide control stability, and allow for real-time fault detection and diagnostics. The Guideline was first published in 2018 for air-side VAV systems and will be reissued in 2021 with addendums and hydronic (central plant) system sequences.
