UBC ASHRAE BBQ Event/Collaboration with ASME

On Sept 11, 2013, UBC ASHRAE had the BBQ event to introduce ASHRAE to all the engineering students. Branislav (Student Chair, ASHRAE) and Stefan (Vice Student Chair, ASHRAE) were at the event representing HVAC/R community. The event was a success with high attendance of more than 70 people.

On March 27th, 2013, UBC ASHRAE worked with UBC ASME to coordinate the first meeting hosted collaboratively by two engineering student branches in last two years (as per my knowledge) at UBC. The meeting was a success. We hope to have more collaborative presentations with UBC ASME in the future, since our member groups have significant overlap and similar goals.

End of last year (2012), we had the tour to E. H. Price. This year we will do a tour to the same or similar facility. We have Samarth Joshi , serving UBC-ASHRAE as Vice President. I look forward to in continuing the growth and cultivation of HVAC/R and green buildings knowledge here at UBC.

Cheers,

Manny Daid
President UBC-ASHRAE
