Ravindra S Kulkarni

ASHRAE Pune Chapter will be organising various programmes, and we shall keep you updated on all the

upcoming Calendar of Events in the forthcoming issues of the News Letter.

I would also welcome Contributions, from one and all, to the News Letter to make it more interesting. May I

request you to come forward with your contribution in the form of Articles, News in our Field, New

Developments, Interesting Projects in our Area, and interesting bits of information to make our News Letter

worth reading?

One of the ideas would be to start a Forum where problems from the field or experienced by us, are addressed

by Experts in the field. Pune ASHRAE Chapter is fortunate in having stalwarts in our field who will guide us in the

matter.

I would like to thank Shripad Kulkarni and his associates in making this News Letter a reality, and wish them

success in making this News Letter something to look forward to in the future.

Finally, ASHRAE Pune Chapter is organising the Pune Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Conference, on 17th

Sept,2011, in which we shall be holding Technical Workshops. These will be conducted by eminent Speakers

from abroad.

I would call on all ASHRAE Members to take advantage of this opportunity and enrol yourselves for this Event. In

order to serve our Members better we have decided to keep the Registration amount to the minimum. Please

take advantage of this and in the process make this Event successful.
