President's Report

Our February Meeting (Feb 7th) is at Camp Aldersgate!

This is our Joint USGBC meeting!!

We were not able to have our joint USGBC meeting last year and I know that was a disappointment, but it is this February! It is about ASHRAE 90.1. The seminar will cover the impact the standard will have on codes and projects in Arkansas. Don’t miss this one…….

We have a new refrigeration chair. His name is TJ Bell. Since it is fairly late in the year, he has agreed to stay on next year as well and we are thankful for that. If you see him, please say hi.

All of the things happening in ASHRAE has been made possible from volunteers. Thank you to everyone that gives of themselves to make our chapter great.
