Read MoreHello fellow SAC members! I hope everyone has been keeping well and thriving. We all know this year has been challenging for group events and our regular chapter programming. We are all hopeful, however, to be able to have in face meetings in the near future.
That said, keeping up with this year’s webinars and virtual events, for May we look forward to a YEA event, and a collaboration with our neighbor to the north, so stay tuned and be on the lookout for our chapter emails.
Thank you for your continuous support.

This ASHRAE year has definitely been a challenging one as we were faced with even more social restriction than we anticipated. I hope you have all enjoyed the virtual events we were able to bring to you so far. We still have a few more events planned so keep an eye out for the details that will be coming your way. Hopefully as vaccines continue to become available we can provide more interactive meetings and activities soon.
Stay safe and well!

I’m excited to meet this years challenges head on as we all maneuver around social distancing rules and health guidelines to bring us back to the new normal. As you all know, things will look a bit different this year! We will endeavor to bring you creative ideas so we can continue to bring you together at monthly meetings and annual SAC ASHRAE events (virtually and weather permitting outdoors).
If you have any ideas or suggestion you would like to see SAC try out, please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our board members. We are all ears during these challenging times.

Read MoreWe have very exciting year planned out, with multiple tours and speakers, with two meetings completed this year already.
We kicked off the 2019-2020 Campaign year with a tour of the Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton. A big thanks goes out to Remedy Engineering and the YMCA for being our tour guides and assisting the Board Members with the tour. It was greatly appreciated.
Our second meeting of the year was a very successful Past President’s Night hosted at the SAIT Highwood Restaurant. We were able to host this year’s ASHRAE Society President Darryl Boyce, P.Eng. A big thank you goes out to Aqua Air and Engineered Air for providing the Past President’s gifts, to Exel Systems for sponsoring the table wine, and to ESC Automation for providing the RP prize.
Below is a photo taken of the Past President’s that were able to attend.
We hope to see you all at our upcoming monthly meetings and events this year, and do not hesitate to reach out to the Board Members if you have any questions or suggestions!
Thank you.

Read MoreTime is fast approaching for the end of the campaign year, but the events are only going to get bigger! This month we have our final DL visit from David Abellon with his popular talk about the “Unethical Engineer”.
In April, we have the first ASHRAE Tradeshow in years, which has had great response and we have many participants presenting at the tradeshow and giving seminar talks. Please look for an invite to sign-up on the website as an attendee to attend the tradeshow for free with dinner following the tradeshow and seminar (added cost). Early in the month we have our first Women in ASHRAE event with a wine tasting event at Co-Op. Females are encouraged to attend as it is sure to be a great event! Thanks to all the sponsors for the event, the support is greatly appreciated.
At a Board Level, I will be attending the CRC hosted by the Alaska Chapter in May. Business meetings will be held with motions being brought forward by each Chapter in our Region. If you have anything you would like Society to change or have any recommendations for how we can do things better in the Chapter or at the Regional level, I encourage to let us know so they can be tabled during the CRC.
Lastly, with it finally getting warmer, you will see invites for our final events coming up in the Spring: Lobsterfest (coordinated by SMACNA and MCA) and the SAC ASHRAE Annual Golf Tournament.
As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact a Board Member.
