Jump Start for Hampton Roads ASHRAE Student Chapter at Old Dominion University

The Hampton Roads Chapter ASHRAE had a pizza luncheon Thursday, April 14^th for students interested in ASHRAE.  Nathan Luetke is a professor for ODU’s Engineering Technology department and has volunteered to become HRC ASHRAE’s student chapter advisor.  Nathan has been working with Gary Hayden (HRC ASHRAE past president and active student activities chairman) in starting the student chapter and engaging students interested in ASHRAE.  Rob Ainsley, Gary Hayden, and Scott Almond (HRC ASHRAE representatives) teamed up with Nathan to talk with several students and present the benefits of becoming a student member and starting a student chapter.  The students were fully engaged in the conversation and eager to chapter operations.  We would like to thank Professor Nathan Luetke for stepping into this very important role and all of his great work.

ASHRAE HRC Tours Sentara Princess Anne Hospital

The Hampton Roads Chapter of ASHRAE conducted a technical tour of the region’s newest healthcare facility Monday evening, April 11^th.  The tour included brief, non-commercial presentations by the construction manager and vendor representatives of the mechanical and electrical equipment provided on the project.  The tour also included a visit to the central utility plant to view the facility’s chillers, boilers, pumping packages, cooling towers, electrical distribution, and emergency power equipment.  We also toured the patient tower penthouses which house the facility’s air handlers, as well as, the hospital’s operating suites and security monitoring room.  The evening concluded at a local restaurant where members gathered to network and socialize.  We would like to give special thanks to Bob Gutierrez, the project manager for the general contractor, who was instrumental in setting up the tour.  We would also like to thank the vendor representatives and tour attendees for their participation.
