This year has been a busy year so far and it is about to get busier. Our biggest event of theyear, the product show, hosted close to 600 people. It was great to see everyone catching upwith old friends and colleagues, but more importantly, meeting new people and catching somegood leads for new business. Our student chapters had a great showing and the studentsseemed to enjoy learning all about what we do as an industry. A special thanks goes out to allof our sponsors and volunteers to make this show a great success.

April and May are all about ASHRAE. We have several events of all types for everyoneincluding baseball, golf, technical sessions, PE study sessions, a Macon meeting, and our newofficer ballot is up for vote.

Taming the Great Indoors: Improving Indoor Air QualityMost of the time, we breathe without a thought, hundreds of times each hour – unlessthere’s a problem. When something’s wrong, it’s due to pollutants, people, pathways, andpressure differences. The best solution often is to find the sources and control them, or fixthe pathways and pressures. Instead of testing, a visual inspection (walk-through) canidentify many likely sources and pathways, which are often inexpensive to fix.
