Message from Our
President
Walter Houle
Electronic Control Systems, Inc.
Greetings all. What happened to January? Its been a busy month for everyone, and a great start to the new year. Here’s a few highlights: Our meeting on Standard 189.1 was a success. Kent Petersen did a great job presenting this standard and how it can be utilized. Also, ASHRAE just formally published it on Jan 22. For those of you who weren’t able to attend, a copy or Kent’s presentation is available on our Chapter web site. Complete information on 189.1, including a readable copy, is now available on www.ashrae.org/greenstandard.
Our next Chapter Meeting will be on February 9th. The topic will be Data Center Design and the speaker will be Douglas Bearmar, P.E. from Qualcomm.
Information for the 2010 ASHRAE Technology Awards Program has just been released. This is a great way for you showcase your firm’s designs and to communicate them to other ASHRAE members. Winners of the 2009 competition were recognized this week at the Society’s Winter Conference in Orlando, FL. Preliminary applications are due in March. Please contact Mark Richards for details. There will also be an ASHRAE Webcast on April 21st on Commissioning for High Performance Buildings.
We hope to see you at one of these events. As always, thank you for your support.
Walter Houle
Update your Bios & Member
Status on ASHRAE.org
Eric Glatzl, P.E., LEED AP
Membership Promotion Chair, 2009-10 Syska Hennessy
Hello ASHRAE Members!
Have you been a member of ASHRAE for ten, fifteen, even twenty years, and your Membership certificate and card stills says, “Associate Member?” Wouldn’t you like that to say “MEMBER” instead?
You can, easy…for free…and all it takes is about ten minutes of your time. AND…you can do it anytime, anywhere with internet access. Here’s how:
1. Update your member bio / profile at www.ashrae.org 2. Send an email to [email protected] and say
the following: “I have an updated bio and wish to be considered for member grade advancement. Please review my biographical information at your earliest convenience.”
3. Wait about a month and receive your NEW certificate in the mail declaring your grade as “MEMBER.”
4. Frame new certificate and be the envy of all your co-workers.
Seriously, that’s all you need to do. It costs you nothing. You have to print and mail nothing. You have to call nobody. Do it all online and via email when you have a few minutes and you’re good to go.
What happens once you become an actual member? Well, you can now become a Chapter officer if you so choose, or even, become active at a Regional or National level of ASHRAE. Exciting stuff.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns about ASHRAE Membership, please do not hesitate to contact me at 858-244-0360 or email me at [email protected].

Reminder: Help Us Recruit
New Members-Have Lunch
on Us!
Eric Glatzl, P.E., LEED AP
Membership Promotion Chair, 2009-10 Syska Hennessy
Help us recruit new members and spread the word of ASHRAE!
If you bring a non-member guest to the February meeting on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, and they join ASHRAE at that meeting (give me a check and complete an application), you and your newly signed up guest eat for FREE. That’s right…FREE. The meal is on us. It’s our way of saying thank you for helping the San Diego Chapter grow.
In order to get your free meal(s), come find me, Eric Glatzl – Membership Chair, at the sign in desk (I’ll be “damn glad to meet you”) and I’ll take care of you!
Remember, in order to get your free meal(s), you must sign up for ASHRAE and give me your check at the meeting. The check shall be made out to “ASHRAE” and shall be in the amount of $200.00. Filling out the application and sending in your check at a later date will not get you a free meal I’m afraid.
Please note, no cash or credit cards will be accepted when new members sign up. Checks only.
