ASHRAE San Diego Chapter hosted another great
meeting last month at the Butcher Shop where Jerry
Iacouzze discussed topics on sound control and duct
design. A big thank you to Jerry for sharing his
experience with us!
The next meeting is a tour of Sea World Facilities on
th
May 17 . This promises to be another great opportunity
to check out some of the inner workings at this popular
park. Please keep your eye on our website for more
information as it develops.
I’m happy to report that our Chapter has completed the
election process for the upcoming ASHRAE year.
Congratulations to Hugh Egan on becoming our next
Treasurer for the Chapter! As Hugh begins his assent
through the ranks of the Chapter officers, I want to
personally thank him and all the other Officers (Dennis
Christie, Dan Noto, Rebecca Haehn, and Heather
Schopplein) for their dedication to the San Diego
Chapter!
The Roster is coming! We are actively working to
update and publish our roster with the goal of having it
done by the end of this ASHRAE year (June). An email
went out on March 15 soliciting advertisers and I
encourage you to consider an ad in the Chapter Roster.
It is a great resource for all members. I use mine all the
time and am looking forward to having it updated
myself. To update your entry please email Tamera Alvis
and to sign up with an ad please email Dan Noto.
A personal note – This week is a milestone in the war on
terror with Osama Bin Laden having been killed by US
forces almost 10 years after the 9/11 attacks. I am
especially proud to be an American today. I hope you
are too. Traffic was bad near all of our local military
bases as a result. But I didn’t mind too much. God
Bless our servicemen and woman!
Respectfully submitted,
Mark E. Richards P.E., CPD, CPMP

The ASHRAE San Diego Nominating Committee
is pleased to announce that the 2011-2012
election has been closed. The results of the
election are as follows:
2011-2012 Chapter Officers:
Membership Promotion Chair, 2010-11
ASHRAE is always looking for new and better ways to
spread the importance of being a member especially if you
work in the HVAC & R industry. For those of you reading
this article, I do not need to tell you why it is important (and
necessary) for you to be members of ASHRAE.
But you can help us recruit new members and spread the
word of ASHRAE!
Dan Noto -President Elect
Rebecca Haehn -Vice President
Heather Schopplein -Secretary
Hugh Egan –Treasurer
Since our member-get-a-member was such a success at our
November meeting, the Board of Governors has decided to
make it a standing membership drive program. In other
words, any member bringing a non-member to a regular
monthly meeting OR tour and this non-member joins
ASHRAE Society and the SD Chapter at the meeting, he or
she and you will have the meal on us…FREE. It’s our way of
saying thank you for helping the San Diego Chapter grow.
2011-2012 Board of Governors:
Jerry Hartford, PE
Mark Silke
Cindy Hyatt
Jennifer Felsburg
Bruce Brown
In order to get your free meal(s), come find me, Eric Glatzl –
Membership Chair, at the sign in desk (I’ll be “damn glad to
meet you”) and I’ll take care of you!
The Officers will be installed at the Awards Dinner
on June 14, 2011. See the upcoming
announcements for location and time.
Sincerely,
San Diego Chapter Nominating Committee.
Remember, in order to get your free meal(s), you must sign
up for ASHRAE and give me your check at the meeting. The
check shall be made out to “ASHRAE” and shall be in the
amount of $215.00. Filling out the application and sending in
your check at a later date will not get you a free meal I’m
afraid.
Please note, no cash or credit cards will be accepted when
new members sign up. Checks only.

it is awesome being a member of ASHRAE:

Update your Bios and Upgrade your Membership on ASHRAE.org
Have you been a member of ASHRAE for ten, fifteen, even twenty years, and your Membership certificate and card
stills says, “Associate Member?” Wouldn’t you like that to say “MEMBER” instead?
You can, easy…for free…and all it takes is about ten minutes of your time. AND…you can do it anytime, anywhere
with internet access. Here’s how:
1. Update your member bio / profile at www.ashrae.org
2. Send an email to membership@ashrae.org and say the following: “I have an updated bio and wish to be
considered for member grade advancement. Please review my biographical information at your earliest
convenience.”
3. Wait about a month and receive your NEW certificate in the mail declaring your grade as “MEMBER.”
4. Frame new certificate and be the envy of all your co-workers.
Seriously, that’s all you need to do. It costs you nothing. You have to print and mail nothing. You have to call
nobody. Do it all online and via email when you have a few minutes and you’re good to go.
What happens once you become an actual member? Well, you can now become a Chapter officer if you so choose,
or even, become active at a Regional or National level of ASHRAE. Exciting stuff.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns about ASHRAE Membership, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 858-244-0360 or email me at eglatzl@syska.com.

CTTC UPDATE
Syska Hennessey Group,Inc
Gerald D. Hartford, Jr., P.E., LEED AP
On April 21, 2011, Syska Hennessy Group hosted the ASHRAE webcast entitled "Ground Source Heat Pump System:
Putting the Earth to Work for You". There were four (4) attendees from Syska and three (3) others external.
For those that did not attend, we hope you signed-on individually. If not, the program will be archived on-line until May
5, 2011 for those who were unable to participate in the live webcast. Check it out!
On other chapter CTTC matters, although a little slow in developing movement forward, I have now scheduled a series
of chapter CTTC meetings for the fourth (4th) Tuesday of each month in the offices of Syska Hennessy Group, one or
two weeks before the following monthly BOG meeting (the 1st Tuesday of each month). This will be a noon meeting
with lunch provided (hosted by Syska Hennessy Group). Lunch will be served promptly at 11:45 AM with the
committee meeting starting promptly at 12:00 noon. It is anticipated that each meeting will conclude at 1:00 PM (1
hour long). Prior to each meeting an agenda will be prepared and distributed to the committee members, ensuring
that each meeting will be managed most efficiently.
Those committee members who are expected to attend include the following:
Jerry Hartford - CTTC chairperson
Dennis Christie - President Elect (programs)
Dan Noto - Vice President (current PAOE - future programs)
Allen Hampton - Committee Member
Rebecca Haehn - Secretary (future PAOE)
Brian Alexy - Committee Member
Any other members of the BOG and/or the chapter officers are welcome to join as well (with prior notice to ensure an
available lunch).
The chapter CTTC committee meeting calendar for the balance of 2011 is attached, along with the BOG meeting
calendar.
Also, please consider watching the first of of what will be a regular series of ASHRAE "Hot Topics", beginning with a
one-hour video presentation on "ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2009, Standard for the Design of High
Performance Green Buildings". This program is presented by Presidential Member Kent Peterson, the past chair of
SSPC 189.1. The "Hot Topics" presentation is available for streaming now at www.ashrae.org/hottopics. We
the CTTC intend to view this presentation at our upcoming CTTC meeting scheduled for May 24, 2011.
Thank you. Jerry

USGBC - May GreenMeet ~ The Future of Green Buildings: The Living Building
Challenge
Zero Energy. Zero Water. Zero Waste. The Living Building Challenge is transforming green building throughout North America.
There are now more than sixty projects in process from coast to coast pursuing certification under this vigorous performance
standard and interest continues to rise. In this introductory discussion to the Living Building Challenge, you will learn about key
components of the Living Building Challenge and discuss the rationale for restorative design principles through a lens of
biomimicry.
This session will be of interest to green building leaders who want to improve the development of the built environment: design
professionals, contractors, building owners, government officials and employees of public agencies.
