April 2017 Chapter Meeting: How ASHRAE's bEQ Label Drives High Performance and Energy Savings
2017-04-06 17:30 - 20:00 UTC | World Trade Center, 121 SW Salmon Street, Portland, OR, 97205
This presentation highlights the similarities and differences between bEQ, Energy Star, LEED®, or other building certifications. Understanding them can help engineers and contractors better communicate with building owners and facility managers the value of EUI (Energy Utilization Index) standards that may soon be applied to their buildings, as is now mandated by a number of municipalities, counties and states in the U.S. (including Washington and Oregon). Companies that fully incorporate ASHRAE bEQ labeling can create a new profit center.

2017-02-16 17:30 - 20:00 UTC | NW Natural, 220 NW 2nd Avenue, Floor 4 Hospitality Room, Portland, OR, 97209
The topic of ethics has always been difficult to address because ethics itself is often seen as fluid; it depends on the person, the culture or the situation, thereby making it difficult to measure or predict. This presentation looks at the relationship between risk and ethics while exploring some ways at placing risk and ethics into a common context where they can be viewed together and likely outcomes measured or predicted.
Join us for a special presentation by ASHRAE Society’s President, Tim Wentz. This is an excellent opportunity to meet our president, find out about what is happening nationally and explore the timely and important subject of ethics in the industry.

Willamette Valley Section January Meeting: Achieving a Sound Design Through Integrated Systems Solutions
2017-01-12 17:30 - 20:30 UTC | Willie’s Lebanese Restaurant & NW Cuisine, 400 International Way, Springfield, OR, 97477, United States
Please join the ASHRAE-Willamette Valley Section on January 12th, 2017 for dinner and a presentation by Russell Hawkins of Vibro-Acoustics, “Achieving a Sound Design Through Integrated Systems Solutions.”
Presentation Synopsis
When it comes to mechanical equipment noise, only the correct application of vibration isolation and noise control products will produce a solution. That’s why picking a product from a catalog all too often leads to misapplication and results in severe problems or even disaster.
ASHRAE states that there are three primary causes behind all HVAC noise problems: either noise control was not considered at the design stage, it was the victim of “de-value engineering” post-design, or system components were not integrated properly despite being considered. Vibration and noise sources and paths should be analyzed at project outset and vibration isolation and noise control solutions looked at together, addressing both airborne and structural-borne noise. This is the only possible way to achieve the sound criterion in a space.

This presentation looks at how energy codes are determined in Oregon and outlines opportunities for creating a logical energy code pathway to decrease future energy costs and achieve important climate goals.

Location: Multnomah Athletic Club, Lownsdale Room
Cost: ASHRAE members $40, Non-members $50, Students FREE

September 2016 Chapter Meeting: How "Reach Codes" are Shaping the Future of Energy Monitoring in Oregon
2016-09-22 23:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
Current code development only addresses the version being developed and does little to prepare the market for subsequent changes. Reach (a.k.a. stretch) codes are being implemented in order to align everyone working in the market – from design & construction professionals, to manufacturers & distributors – in order to ensure higher compliance rates. We’ll take 30 minutes to discuss the implications.
About the Speaker
Cole Knappen is a Strategic Segment Specialist for Schneider Electric. Prior to joining Schneider Electric, Cole was VP of Sales & Marketing for Obvius, a manufacturer of energy monitoring technologies. Cole has testified in favor of similar codes and supported research by Lawrence Berkeley National Labs in the fields of energy monitoring.
