Chapter President's Message

  • Jeff Frie
    February is here already, it has been an exciting year this far wth only 3 monthly chapter meetings to go (excluding our annual golf tournament).  This brings up the time of year where we will be looking for people to take an active role within the Saskatoon ASHRAE Board.  Nominations will open at our next meeting for the 4 elected positions; President, Vice-president, Treasurer, and Secretary.  I encourage everyone to attend and nominate from our current board or anyone who may be interested in becoming a Saskatoon ASHRAE Chapter Board member.

Chapter Programs

Upcoming Speakers and Tours

  • Kirk Campbell
    Chris Conley of Daniels Wingerak Engineering Ltd. will be our guest speaker at our February meeting. He will be doing a presentation on High Performance Building Design that he incorporated into the Cameco Operations Center, located in our own city of Saskatoon. He has won an ASHRAE award on his design of this building. He has also presented this design at the 2011 ASHRAE show in Las Vegas, NV.

    A little about Chris and his topic:

    Chris Conley, former ASHRAE Saskatoon President (2009-2010) will be presenting on ‘Active Chilled Beams: A Case Study Comparing Modeled Performance to Actual Performance’. This presentation was prepared with the Radiant Cooling technical committee and was presented at ASHRAE’s Winter Meeting in Las Vegas in 2011. The presentation discusses the design of the Cameco Operations Center, an award winning high performance building. Active chilled beams, as well as the rest of the mechanical system will be discussed. The comparison of the modeled performance of the building to the actual performance of the building gives some interesting insights.

    Come on out to the local meeting for a great meal, meeting, and presentation.

    See you there!

Research Promotion

  • Jonathan Bushman

    Hello ASHRAE Saskatoon!

    Has anyone lost their marbles?  I know that these are busy times for some people, but my question isn't about that.  I got a box of ASHRAE Saskatoon Research Promotion stuff from Chris Conley and there was a container of marbles in there.  The marbles are from the ancient ASHRAE Saskatoon Marble Game for Research Promotion and I would like to know the rules for the marble game.  If you know the rules, then please let me know.

    I would like to thank those who have contributed to ASHRAE research so far in this 2011-2012 year.

    So far, $1,590 has been raised for ASHRAE research.  Our goal is $9,500, so we are about 16.7% of the way there.

    Our Research Promotion campaign is kicking into high gear in February, thanks to Kirk Nagus, Jesse Friggstad, and Ryan MacGillivray.  These three volunteers have agreed to help me contact people to promote ASHRAE Research, but don't be surprised if you get an email from one of us inviting you to give to ASHRAE Research.  ASHRAE recently got a new motto: "Shaping Tomorrow's Built Environment Today".  The research money raised now leads to new technologies, better energy efficiency, and better use of resources tomorrow.

    If you want to know more about ASHRAE Research, then please contact me.  Remember that research money raised in Canada stays in Canada.

Student Activities

  • Greg Scrivener

    ASHRAE really encourages that all of us participate in K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities.  Judging science fairs, giving presentations and helping teachers with science resources are just a few of the ways we can make a difference.  This year I have done one high school level presentation on the role refrigeration has played in mining and have a couple of junior high presentations on hydraulics and pneumatics scheduled for the end of March.  If you have an opportunity to participate, I strongly encourage you to do so (and please let me know).  It is a fun way to give back.

    Remember to bring any HVAC/R textbooks that you want to donate to ASHRAE student chapters in developing economies to a monthly meeting so I can get them where they need to go.

    As always, students are welcome at any monthly meeting for $5.00!
