2016-2017 RP Campaign
Hello everyone! This years Research Promotion campaign is underway! We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their past donations and invite them to continue their support this year. We will be contacting all our past donors within the next few weeks and hope to reach our goal of $12,100. Your donations will go towards funding research in the HVAC/R industry at various educational institutions and companies throughout the country or internationally. When you donate to ASHRAE Research Canada, 100% of your contribution will go towards research within the country. Your contributions will not be used for payrolls, overhead or other miscellaneous cost that a research facility may incur. All of your contributions go towards things like lab equipment and materials, testing, certifications etc... There are many exciting research projects underway this year which someday may lead to revisions to, or new ASHRAE standards and new technologies. Please feel free to visit the ASHRAE RP website for more information. Thanks again, and don't forget to donate! Jesse Friggstad ASHRAE Saskatoon RP Chair |

Welcome to another year of ASHRAE for the Saskatoon Chapter. This year I will be taking over the Research Promotion Chair position. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jonathan Bushman for his hard work as the RP Chairperson for the 2011-2012 campaign. He exceeded the goal of $9500.00 and raised a grand total of 10,437.00. Thanks also to his RP committee of Ryan MacGillivray, Jesse Friggstad and Kirk Nagus. Job well done by all. Overall ASHRAE raised 2,191756 for research. To acknowledge the donation of the 2011-2012 campaign, ASHRAE Saskatoon will hold a donor recognition night on Tuesday October 9th.

Hello ASHRAE Saskatoon! Yay! Companies are starting to donate to ASHRAE research. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to ASHRAE research so far in this 2011-2012 year. Peak Mechanical Blake Erb

I have something to admit: I have been slacking off with the ASHRAE Research Promotion calling campaign. Jesse Friggstad, Kirk Nagus, and Ryan MacGillivray have volunteered to help me and having been working on the calling campaign, but I have not phoned anyone quite yet. My plan is to have contacted everyone on my part of the contact list by the April ASHRAE meeting, so if you run into me at the meeting, you can check how I am doing at that. I am sorry for not being more zealous in the RP Chair role. If you want to know more about ASHRAE Research, then please contact me. Remember that research money raised in Canada stays in Canada.

Hello ASHRAE Saskatoon! I would like to start off by thanking those who have contributed to ASHRAE research so far in this 2011-2012 year. Peak Mechanical Blake Erb So far, $2,190 has been raised for ASHRAE research. Our goal is $9,500, so we are about 21.3% of the way there. We have new companies donating to ASHRAE Research and our Research Promotion campaign is officially underway, thanks to Jesse Friggstad, Kirk Nagus, and Ryan MacGillivray. Yay! These three volunteers have agreed to help me contact people to promote ASHRAE Research, but don't be surprised if you get a phone call or an email from one of us inviting you to donate. ASHRAE Research furthers our knowledge of HVAC, makes buildings more energy efficient, and helps us use our resources better. ASHRAE recently got a new logo and a new motto: "Shaping Tomorrow's Built Environment Today", so this will be showing up in the donation letters we send out. Remember that all the ASHRAE research money raised in Canada stays in Canada and the U of S has done well at getting its share of research funding. I would like to welcome all students and non-members. Last month, I had found the marbles from the ancient ASHRAE marble game and learned the honourable and half-forgotten rules. Unfortunately, I was told that I should have started it back in September, so we will likely have a 50/50 draw instead to raise funds for ASHRAE Research. Students and non-members are welcome to participate. ASHRAE Saskatoon is having elections for the positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Please come, volunteer, and vote! If you want to know more about ASHRAE Research, then please contact me. Remember that research money raised in Canada stays in Canada. 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. Peak Mechanical Blake Erb 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. Jonathan Bushman |
