PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
COMMITTEE MEMBER UPDATES
Spring has sprung! It’s that time of year where trees start blooming, the day are warmer, and everything seems
to be coming back to life! It’s also an exciting time in our industry, as construction documents become reality
before our very eyes. It can be stressful at times, but we are beginning to see the fruits of our labor in all of the
buildings going up and the old buildings getting a new start. That, to me, is very rewarding!
I would like to thank Dr. Stephanie Taylor for her presentation this month on Learning to Love Microbes. It was
quite different from our typical presentations, in that it we got to learn about the medical side of the HVAC world
. We learned a great deal about how microbe diversity is the key to a healthy living environment for humans. As mechanical engineers, it
is our duty to recognize this and incorporating this knowledge into our designs and equipment. The presentation was EXCELLENT, and we
would highly recommend it to other chapters and organizations. Thank you again, Dr. Taylor!
February was a VERY BUSY month for Student Activities…
Jim Rossetti, Tyler Tjong and Joe Fox attended 2 events at NJIT – one Resume Workshop and one Practice Interview workshop. They met
with many students and were able to help them with their job/internship searches and explained to them that it would be beneficial for
them to join a professional organization like ASHRAE. Our Student Activities committee also attended two career fairs – one at Stevens IT
and one at Princeton University. We were able to reach 30+ students and show them the importance of ASHRAE and the benefits that it
offers to both themselves and their careers moving forward.
Stevens IT is also interested in re-activating their student chapter, so we are working with their student body and faculty to make that
happen over the next couple of months! We are very excited about this opportunity!
The Devils/Bruins hockey game was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came out! Also, a BIG THANK YOU to NJ ASHRAE for
sponsoring the event!
The next YEA event will be the New York Red Bulls soccer game on Wednesday, May 8th. They will be playing the Montreal Impact.
Please look out for a flyer with more details over the next couple weeks!
A couple reminders…
Don’t forget to “like” our new LinkedIn page! See here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ashrae-nj/
On Thursday, April 18th, we are having a PDH Day where you can sit for multiple presentations for 4.0 PDH hours towards your license.
The event will be at the same location as last year (at Daikin’s office in Jersey City). Please see the flyer located in this newsletter for more
information.
This month’s meeting is on Tuesday, April 2nd and is Student & YEA Night and we will be hearing from Benny Walsh of Price Industries,
who will be presenting Displacement Ventilation in Schools. School districts around the country have adopted Displacement Ventilation
as the standard design for their school systems and Benny will be teaching us everything we need know about this hot topic! See you all
then and we are looking forward to another great turnout!
“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions
when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” — Robert H. Schuller

CROSQ RELEASES NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL AND ASHRAE
ATLANTA (Mar. 21, 2019) – The International Code Council, ASHRAE, the CARICOM Secretariat Energy
Unit and the CARICOM Regional Organisation for Standards and Quality (CROSQ) announced today the
release of new standards for energy efficient buildings for its Member States. The 2018 CARICOM Regional
Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC), which will cover both commercial and residential construction, is a joint effort by the CROSQ, the Code Council and ASHRAE.
“These standards for energy efficient buildings reflect the unique energy requirements of tropical environments
and will ultimately increase adoption rates of more effectual technologies for renewable energy and energy
conservation,” commented the CEO of CROSQ, Mr. Deryck Omar. “The adoption of these codes will go a long
way toward allowing our members to mitigate the impacts of a changing climate. It also demonstrates the
importance of bringing quality measures into the region’s energy sector and the potential benefits that can accrue when that happens.”
The CREEBC, which was developed through a collaboration between the CROSQ and the Energy Unit of the
CARICOM Secretariat, is meant to meet the specific needs of nations in the Caribbean and other countries with
tropical climates. It establishes minimum energy efficiency requirements for buildings, including the building
envelope, cooling system, ventilation, pumping, lighting and the service water-heating systems.
Head of the Energy Unit at the CARICOM Secretariat, Dr. Devon Gardner, said, “The CREEBC is envisioned to
lead to an era of better quality building designs within the Caribbean Community, noting that the ability of
buildings to minimize the energy requirements for the services for which they were intended would reduce the
exposure to climate and disaster risks.” He stated, as an example, that “Energy-efficient measures and systems,
such as daytime lighting and improvements in ventilation, can facilitate the comfort of occupants in buildings even during periods of natural disaster-related stress on the electricity grids.”

CROSQ RELEASES NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL AND ASHRAE CONT.
We were pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with our colleagues at the CROSQ to help adapt
the Code Council’s latest energy standards to help their members improve the efficiency and sustainability of
their buildings,” said Code Council CEO Dominic Sims, CBO. “Our codes are not one-size-fits-all. They are a
starting point for developing standards that meet the individual needs of regions around the world.”
“Improving energy efficiency is a global challenge, with buildings professionals serving as a crucial contributor
toward the establishment of standards that affect building systems operations,” said 2018-2019 ASHRAE
President Sheila J. Hayter, P.E. “The CREEBC and ASHRAE’s collaboration with partnering organizations
represent our long standing dedication to global sustainability and leadership in use of integrated building design resources.”
The development of the CREEBC is part of the ongoing implementation of the Caribbean Sustainable Energy
Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERM), a CARICOM program aimed at increasing political will and private sector
input for the adoption of more effective technologies for renewable energy, energy conservation and efficiency.

ASHRAE SEEKS PRESENTATIONS FOR 2020 WEBCAST
ATLANTA (March 14, 2019) – ASHRAE has announced a call for three presenters to share knowledge
about the effects of humidity to a global audience in its 2020 ASHRAE Webcast, “Effects of Low Humidity and
High Humidity on People, Buildings and Energy Performance.”
“Humidity has a substantial impact on the comfort and health of building occupants,” said Steve Piccolo, chair
of Webcast Ad Hoc committee. “Preserving the structural integrity of buildings and protecting the contents
also requires proper humidity control. This Webcast will explore the effects of humidity on buildings,
occupants, and contents in a variety of uses. The program will also discuss the impact humidity has on energy
consumption of the HVAC system and effective ways to control humidity.
The CTTC seeks three qualified presenters. Participation in the webcast requires a substantial time
commitment. Presenters must be able to commit to the following schedule:
August 2019 - CTTC Webcast Ad Hoc Committee 1-Day Planning Meeting at ASHRAE Headquarters to determine the
Webcast program and production schedule
September 2019 - Presenters prepare Presentation Outlines
October 2019 - Presenters prepare Draft Scripts & Graphics
November through December 2019 - Peer Review of Draft Scripts by Volunteer Panel and Ad Hoc Committee
December 2019 through February 2020 - Presenters prepare and coordinate Final Drafts (Scripts and Graphics)
February 2020 - Final Graphics & Scripts prepared by Presenters & Graphics Editor
April 2020 - Rehearsal & Live Webcast – Multi-day meeting in Atlanta
The deadline to submit webcast presentation materials for consideration is April 5. For questions and to
submit presentation materials for consideration, email [email protected].

GLOBAL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
IPCC Releases Report on the Impacts of Global Warming
On October 6, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change approved a special report entitled “Global Warming of
1.5°C.” This report assesses the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and how those impacts
would change if global warming increased instead to 2°C.
Under the Paris Agreement, countries committed to “Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well
below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-
industrial levels.”
The IPCC report found significant differences between the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C compared with 2°C,
including extreme weather events, sea level rise, and the irreversible loss of ecosystems such as coral reefs.
The report also explained the difficulties of limiting global warming to 1.5°C: “The report finds that limiting global
warming to 1.5°C would require “rapid and far-reaching” transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and
cities. Global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) would need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010
levels by 2030, reaching ‘net zero’ around 2050. This means that any remaining emissions would need to be balanced by
removing CO2 from the air.”
Energy Efficiency Day 2018
Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced a Senate resolution that designated October 5,
2018 as Energy Efficiency Day and recognized the “economic and environmental benefits that have been driven by
private sector innovation and Federal energy efficiency policies put in place over the past 4 decades.” The resolution
had a total of 21 bipartisan cosponsors and passed the Senate unanimously last week.
