SUMMARY:June Lunch Meeting - Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and ASHRAE: Does it Really Matter
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, ASHRAE’s Board of Directors approved a Diversity Commitment for the Society and established a Proactive Diversity Task Group with a goal to recommend detailed programs and initiatives seeking to eliminate all forms of discrimination and social injustice\, and proactively drive diversity through all levels within ASHRAE. This led some members to ask “why?” As a technical engineering society\, shouldn’t ASHRAE be focusing its efforts and the efforts of its volunteer members on industry-related research and education\, rather than furthering what some consider to be a political agenda? What role\, if any\, should ASHRAE play when it comes to diversity in the AEC community and social justice? Is there really a problem that needs to be solved? This highly-interactive\, engaging and thought-provoking presentation will tackle these questions head on by: \n  \n• Reviewing ASHRAE’s current Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion initiatives \n• Defining terminology – What exactly does DEI mean? \n• Discussing metrics\, trends\, and research \n• Encouraging a respectful exchange of ideas through an online digital platform than ensures privacy and anonymity. \nPresented by Devin Abellon. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:June 2023 - Chapter Technical Meeting - Applications for Healthy Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Achieving balance among desired goals for indoor air quality (IAQ)\, energy consumption\, and occupant Comfort / Health within the built environment is challenging. ASHRAE endeavors to achieve this through guidelines and standards focused on advancing building science as it relates to environmental quality. This presentation will review the commonly used design guides found in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1\, “Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality.”  \n The current form of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2022 outlines mechanical ventilation procedures to provide acceptable IAQ in buildings: The Ventilation Rate Procedure and the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Procedure. While the Ventilation Rate Procedure provides only a dilution solution for the control of typical offending contaminants for a specified occupancy\, the IAQ Procedure provides a directed approach by reducing and controlling the concentrations of selected air contaminants of concern through both dilution and enhanced air cleaning.  \n Rather than relying only on diluting the concentration of contaminants with outdoor air\, designing with enhanced filtration of both recirculated and ventilation outdoor air can improve IAQ\, reduce airborne infectious disease and enhance cognitive functioning within the occupied space. This presentation will focus on the application of enhanced particle\, gas-phase and biological filtration for compliance with Standard 62.1 and recently published information on the Control of Infectious Aerosols – Standard 241P. An outline of the design aspects to consider will be reviewed\, with the focus on achieving acceptable levels of contaminants of concern within the occupied space while considering the desire to meet healthy building standards and improved cognitive functioning. \nPresented by Brian Monk \nRegister here

SUMMARY:April 2023 Chapter Meeting - Liquid Cooling
DESCRIPTION:As process-intensive computing applications grow\, data center operators are evaluating liquid cooling options. According to Omdia’s 2022 Data Center Thermal Management Market Analysis\, the liquid cooling market will top $3B by 2026\, with a 50% compound annual growth rate between now and then. Currently\, air-cooling effectively supports rack capacities up to 20kW. Newer generation CPUs and GPUs designed for high-performance compute and AI applications are pushing rack loads above 50kW. Liquid cooling leverages higher thermal transfer properties to support efficient and cost-effective cooling of these high-density racks. \nThere is a wide array of resources to help you understand the challenges\, opportunities\, and technical requirements that liquid cooling presents including white papers by the ASHARE TC9.9 Committee. This presentation is just one of those resources to help you decide how to apply and scale liquid cooling in the data centers of today and tomorrow. \nPresented by Kevin Gray \nRegister here

SUMMARY:March 2023 Chapter Meeting - Future of Refrigerants
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Refrigerants \nNew societal environmental demands to control climate change are driving the development of new regulatory policies to restrict and lower the direct GWP (global warming potential) impact of F-gases. The HVAC&R industry is currently being challenged to invest significant resources to understand the best refrigerants that meet the above requirements. However\, there are many uncertainties and challenges given the ever-changing global regulatory environment\, within regions\, country\, state\, and sometimes locally by city. \nSafe non-flammable low toxicity F-gases allowed for an exponential increase in the standard of living of society through increased food productivity\, reduction in heat related deaths\, increased worker productivity and migration of people to cities and to hotter climates. The orderly transition from CFCs to HCFCs and HFCs achieved a balance between the societal environmental demands for reduced ozone depletion while continuing to improve the standard of living in developing countries and minimize the societal safety (nonflammable refrigerants) impacts for everyone. \nToday designers are being asked to consider new lower direct GWP unsaturated hydrofluorocarbons (HFOs) refrigerants\, some of which are slightly flammable under certain conditions\, as well as revisiting the application of natural refrigerants\, like carbon dioxide\, ammonia\, hydrocarbons\, and water. \nThis presentation will provide an update on new lower GWP alternatives introduced into the marketplace and it will highlight some important considerations\, particularly flammability\, that engineers\, designers\, and building owners should keep in mind regarding next-generation refrigerants.
