A
Message From Our President
Happy
New Year. We held our January
meeting at the Marriott with good attendance.
We had several members attend who found
our new venue to be comfortable and enjoyable.
Our speaker was Rick Galvez from Schirmer Engineering, who provided us
with his
presentation on "Smoke Control" (code
changes) and his real life experiences.
The audience contributed to Rick's presentation at several times
adding specific do's and don'ts. The discussion was lively,
educational and entertaining. In February, our speaker will share
new approaches for air conditioning in the 21 century.
We want
to announce that Susan
Julien of Advanced Design
Productions, Inc. will develop our Newsletter. Susan is well known
among the professional marketing community in South Florida
and is an active member of SMPS. Patti Kuschel has retired after
eight years as our chapter Newsletter editor. We have
commissioned Susan to develop our chapter Web site, which
we expect to be on-line this fiscal year. If you wish to advertise
your business card in the Newsletter/Web-site please contact
Jason Ayala at
S&W Sheetmetal. Stay tuned for additional
features and services.
Sincerely,
Richard

From
the broad array of alternatives a screening process was
used to sort the best opportunities for continuing research.
Some of the research is now complete, adding to our knowledge
base; other projects are currently underway. Many of the potential alternatives
have been studied in the past, and some are
re-examined as our criteria change (for example, environmental
factors). The merits and pitfalls of Stirling Cycles, thermoelectric
and magnetic refrigeration, Transcritical CO2 cycle as well as
other topics will be discussed.
As always during research a technology will be presented
as something new and great, only to learn that it is a re-invention
of the perpetual motion machine! The presentation will also
explore some of the factors that make some systems attractive
in certain regions of the world and not in others, such as natural
refrigerants and absorption systems.

- First, mark your
calendars for the West Palm Beach and Gold Coast Chapters' training
seminar on Thursday March 20, 2003 at the Marriott Hotel on Cypress
Creek Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale where we hold our monthly meetings.
The seminar will be based on ASHRAE's best selling publication, Humidity Control Design Guide for Commercial Buildings. Application of the related principles will assist the engineer in identifying and avoiding common problems associated with humidity. Registered PE's will earn three (3) PDH hours of continuing education.
- Second, the 1st
Annual "The War Fishing Tournament" will be held on either May 17 or
24, 2003. Possible locations include the Sands in Pompano Beach and
Tug Boat Annie's in Dania Beach. Your input is needed immediately to
finalize scheduling and location.
The primary objective of "The War Fishing Tournament" is to have a good time fishing in the context of friendly but lively competition. Competition categories include: A) engineers, B) contractors and C) sales engineers/sales persons.
I look forward to
hearing from you as to dates and locations.

Re: Chapter/Regional - ASHRAE Technology Awards
Fellow members:
Our Chapter is asking
all Consulting Engineers from Broward or
those that do work in Broward County to participate and submit
projects of their choice for the ASHRAE Technology Awards.
The projects must be completed in the design aspect to
participate in the Chapter and Regional Level. In order to
qualify for the national Award the projects must have been
completed and been in operation for at least a year.
The projects can be
in any part of the country if designed
by an Engineer of Broward County. An Engineer outside of
Broward County can participate if the project they are
submitting is in Broward County. The work shall be submitted
before the end of October. A minimum of two projects, depending
on the amount of entries, would then be selected to participate
in the Regional Awards; these projects will be announced at the
November’s Chapter Meeting.
We would also like
to see our Consulting Engineers from our
Chapter participate in the Awards selection Committee. If you
wish to participate in this committee please contact our chapter
or myself at the above number.
If you have any questions
regarding the above, please contact
me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
John G. Rodriguez
