The 17th Annual Mike Stram Open Golf Tournament is almost here and promises to be a day of fun and excitement.

We will be having the outing again at Chenequa Country Club on Monday, July 30th. Reservations will be on a first come/first serve basis. We expect the outing to fill up rather quickly this year from the response last year and over the winter.

There will be golf, sit down lunch, dinner, door prizes, raffle and flag events.

COST – $200 per person – includes Lunch, Golf & Dinner.

SPONSORSHIP LEVELS:
Major – $1500
Gold – $500
Silver – $350
Hole/Green – $250
Door Prize $100
Beverage Cart Sponsor – $1000

See You On The Course!

Sponsors will be recognized at the banquet.

Distinguished Lecturer James J. Coogan

The Wisconsin Chapter of ASHRAE is proud to announce that on Thursday, February 15th, James J. Coogan will be presenting on: “ASHRAE Guideline 36P: High Performance Sequences of Operation”.

Jim Coogan is a Principal Engineer in product development and applications at Siemens Building Technologies. In 35 years designing controls for mechanical systems, he has contributed to products ranging from simple room controllers to Internet-based operator interfaces. His work has resulted in numerous patents.

Jim has chaired several ASHRAE Technical Committees including, Control Theory and Applications, and Laboratory Systems. He also chaired the committee that developed a Standard Method of Test for Airflow Controls. Jim serves as vice-chair of the committee updating the ANSI Z9.5 Standard: Laboratory Ventilation. Jim participates in the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories.

Publications include technical papers on room pressurization and laboratory system commissioning. Jim earned his SB in mechanical engineering at MIT.

Presentation Info: ASHRAE Guideline 36P: High Performance Seq. of Operations

The controls community in ASHRAE aims to improve HVAC operation and building automation by developing a new guideline for specifying the sequence of operation.  Goals include:

• Higher quality in installed systems through standardization
• Higher energy efficiency through advanced sequence design
• Better building operation through fault detection and smart alarm strategies

The talk recounts the background and history of the project.  It presents the development status and likely course to adoption and maintenance.  Most importantly, it explains the content of the current draft, enabling system specifiers to pick up selected aspects and put them to work now.

We are very excited to have Jim Coogan for our February DL Presentation.

January 2018 Program: Distinguished Lecturer Drury B. Crawley Ph.D.

The Wisconsin Chapter of ASHRAE is proud to announce that on Thursday, January 18th, Drury B. Crawley will be presenting on: “Trends: Buildings, Technologies and Tools”.

The presentation provides an overview of trends and drivers affecting the building industry as well as the simulation tools of tomorrow. Over the next ten years, changes in building technology—particularly wireless controls and solid-state lighting—will profoundly alter how our buildings are designed, built, and operated. Building energy simulation (SIM) has evolved into a powerful tool for evaluating the energy performance of potential or existing buildings. Building simulation allows easy comparison of the energy and environmental performance of many hundreds of design or retrofit options.  The buildings touted today as ‘net-zero energy’ or ‘sustainable’ would not be possible without energy simulation—but no single simulation tool can model all aspects of our buildings today.

Dr. Drury B. Crawley is a Bentley Fellow and Director of Building Performance, with Bentley Systems Inc., focusing on building performance, design, BIM, sustainability, resilience, net-zero-energy buildings, analytics, interoperability, and building operation. With more than 35 years of experience in energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainability, Dr. Crawley has worked in engineering software development, government research and standards development organizations, as well as building design and energy consulting companies.

Before joining Bentley Systems in 2010, Dr. Crawley developed, launched and managed the USDOE’s Commercial Building Initiative for cost-effective, low- and zero-energy commercial buildings including sector Energy Alliances (now Better Buildings Initiative and Alliances). He also managed DOE’s building energy software research and development including EnergyPlus (winner of 2003 R&D100 Award), OpenStudio plugin for SketchUp, Energy-10, and DOE-2.

We are very excited to have Dr. Crawley for our January DL Presentation.
