Hi!  I’m Jonathan Bushman, ASHRAE Saskatoon’s CTTC chair for the 2012-2013 year.  Some of you may be asking what is a CTTC chair.  Mind you, you may be asking why ASHRAE loves acronyms.  Maybe I should explain a few acronyms.
CTTC = Chapter Technology Transfer Chair
MP = Membership Promotion
RP = Research Promotion = Asking people to donate to help ASHRAE research HVAC&R
HVAC&R = Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigerating (You have probably heard this before.)
CRC = Chapter Regional Conference (e.g. ASHRAE people from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C., Alaska, Washington, and Oregon getting together for the Region XI annual conference)
ASHRAE = American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers
So as CTTC (Chapter Technology Transfer Committee) Chair, I get to organize the annual two-day CTTC course.  I think we did “Fundamentals of Water Systems” recently.  I think also stay in the loop on courses ASHRAE has and try to help folks learn about new technologies.  If you have any comments on what would be a good course for ASHRAE Saskatoon to put on this year, then please let me know.
