Presidents CornerChapter Members,

Welcome back, and happy February! I’m really looking forward to this February meeting. Our CTTC chair, Rachael Gorman, got us our second distinguished lecturer for the year (normally we have one at best)

Thank you to all those who attended the 2019 ASHRAE conference .For those who did attend, get with me during the February meeting so that I can write the names down for those who went so that we can get our PAOE points.

Keep an ear our for some of our upcoming ASHRAE events, we’ve got quite a few to round out the year (Golf, YEA, Brewery Tour, etc)

We look forward to seeing everyone at the chapter meeting next week at the Holiday Inn at the U of M.

Sincerely,

Daniel Longserre, PEPresidentASHRAE Memphis Chapter.

Buildings are one of the largest energy end use sectors in countries around the globe. Concerns for the availability of energy supplies and the impact of energy use on the environment are driving a worldwide

focus on energy end use reduction. In this push for dramatic changes in the energy use intensity of the building sector, it is essential that the fundamental importance of indoor environmental quality,

particularly indoor air quality, not be lost. This presentation addresses: 1) the significance of indoor air quality in terms of its impact on health and productivity and associated costs; 2) the inseparable linkage between indoor air quality and building energy demands, including examples of efficient technologies

for maintaining good indoor air quality; and 3) the need for an approach to building research, design, and operation that recognizes this connection.
