Thin Air Bulletin
Message from the President
ASHRAE’s 2015-2016 year is upon us and the board
members of the New Mexico chapter are swinging into
action. Over the Summer we attended the Chapters
Regional Conference (CRC) in Rapid City, South Dakota.
At CRC, the chapters share their successes and failures,
learn best practices, and network with other board
members from around the region. At CRC our chapter
was awarded for chapter performance, contributions to
Research Promotion and we got third place in the man-
mile competition. Overall, we had a successful 2014-
2015 with minimal failures to report and several
successes.
In attendance at CRC was ASHRAE Society President
David Underwood, who gave a talk on his presidential
theme of “Making Connections”. In my opinion, the
best value from ASHRAE is the connections you make
other people. Writing standards, funding cutting edge
research and providing continuing education are
valuable and we must continue to support those goals.
However, without the bonds we build between
members, we will struggle. I suggest you consider your
ASHRAE membership as a tool to building new
relationships and strengthening existing relationships,
in a non-commercial setting.
Chapter Presidents do not traditionally have themes for
their year, but I intend to bring Society President David
Underwood’s theme down to the local level by focusing
on “Making Connections”. It’s hard to connect with
other members when you stay at your office. So I look
forward to seeing you at our chapter meetings and/or
our social events in this coming year.

Message from the President
Continued from page 1
Creating a successful chapter year with compelling
programs, fun social events and superb fundraisers
would not be possible without the involvement of the
whole chapter board. I want to thank each and every
person who volunteers to help continue the work of
this chapter. ASHRAE does not have paid staff at the
local or regional level. Arranging speakers for chapter
meetings, negotiating golf tournament contracts,
updating the website and so much more is done for
free, by our board members. Without hundreds of
hours of labor every year, we would not have an
ASHRAE chapter. One of the best things you can do to
reward our dedicated volunteer board members is
come out to the chapter meetings. Seeing a packed
room at Pappadeaux makes it all worthwhile.
Regards,
Joseph Higham, PE

“I’d recommend this class to any
and every “green” engineer. This
has by far been the best class I’ve
taken being new to the industry. The
notes that are provided are
extremely useful to refer back to
during my day-to-day work when
addressing practical applications.”
Brittany S. (Project Manager) —

“Great melting pot of knowledge
and experiences from the
presenters and attendees. The
lessons I learned from the training
can be directly applied to my
everyday design work.”
Melissa A. (Mechanical Engineer)
— Greenville, SC
“This has been a very informative and
enlightening experience. This class
certainly made the light bulbs go off. I
will without a doubt take what I have
learned back to the office and apply it
to my everday tasks, both
troubleshooting and design. Great
class and meaningful conversations
and lecture material.”
