ASHRAE Will Play a MAJOR Role in ENABLING the Coming Changes Standard 90.1-2010 = 30% Reduction

New Construction and Major Renovations Existing Building Energy Reduction will

begin to get attention The Building Design Process will

continue to change Paradigm shifts will be required

Outgoing DRC ReportConclusion

Thanks for the Opportunity to be your DRC

Region V is rich in individual talent, but lags behind others in Regional functions

Need to develop a cadre of past and future leaders who remain involved in Regional Activities (CRC, PE Training, Regional Planning, etc)

Thanks for the Opportunity to be your DRC I am NOT going to disappear

ARC this year Treasurer next three years Available as a Program Speaker next year:

What’s in the Advanced Energy Design Guides ? What does Green Design Mean ? (ASHRAE

Green Guide and Std. 189) Are Net Zero Energy Buildings Possible and How

Would One Achieve Them ?
