June 2014 - Golf Outing
 Time for another fun filled Northern Indiana ASHRAE golf outing!This is the Chapter's way of supporting ASHRAE Research The goal of ASHRAE Research is to conduct timely research to be the foremost authority on HVAC&R systems in buildings and other applications. ASHRAE Research provides grants for research into ventilation, building load calculations, equipment performance, etc. Projects funded by ASHRAE Research develop the information that our standards and handbooks are based on. The golf outing will be at Scherwood in Schererville. Registration includes: Practice range, limited locker room facilities, 18 holes of golf (scramble/best ball format) with cart, (6) tickets (good for hot dogs/beer/pop at clubhouses & halfway house), dinner, cash bar, and prizes.

November 2013 - Geothermal Systems
 This Thursday, Jake
Bailey, a regional sale manager for ClimateMaster, will be presenting on
geothermal systems. Mr. Bailey will be giving a two part presentation.
The first part will explore the economic benefits of utilizing hybrid systems.
Hybrid geothermal systems reduce field size by providing a chiller and/or
boiler. The second part of Mr. Bailey's presentation will be a case study study
comparing VRF system performance to geothermal system performance. This case
study from actual data gathere from from ASHRAE's own headquarters in Atlanta
where both geothermal and VRF systems have been installed.Cost: $15 (includes lunch) Check-in: 11:30 am - Noon EST Lunch/Program: Noon - 1:00 pm EST Havel Brothers 3210 Sugar Maple Court South Bend, IN 46628 Dinner Meeting - November 21 Cost: $20 (includes dinner and drinks) Check-in: 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm CST Dinner/Program: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm CST Millies Engineering Group 9711 Valparaiso Drive Munster, IN 46321 Enter at North Lunchroom Door |

October 2013 - Acoustics and Sustainable Design
Nathan Sevener is a Principal Consultant and Partner at the acoustical consulting firm Soundscape Engineering. He started his career 18 years ago in Los Angeles, working at the multidisciplinary, British engineering firm Arup. Mr. Sevener is a licensed professional engineer (mechanical), a LEED Accredited Professional, and a Board Certified member of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering. He has been an instructor at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and in the College of Engineering at Valparaiso University. He has been published and has presented technical papers for Sound & Vibration Magazine, Acoustical Society of America, Institute of Noise Control Engineering, Midwest Healthcare Engineering Conference and Tradeshow, and Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo. Mr. Sevener’s firm provides acoustical consulting services for projects primarily located in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, California, and Western Canada. The first ‘sustainable’ building which he recalls working on was the LEED Gold certified Santa Monica Main Library, which he began design work on twelve years ago. However, the mild climate of Southern California meant that sustainable design features were already in use before the promulgation of the LEED rating system. Some of these sustainable design elements, such as natural ventilation, had a great impact on building acoustics. As the sustainable design movement has gained momentum, pressed forward by the economic pressure for energy efficient buildings, it increasingly impacted building acoustics. The need for recycled material content drove acoustical finishes manufacturers to offer new products to meet the demand, increased use of radiant heating systems resulted in more frequent lack of speech privacy in buildings, utilization of fan-powered energy recovery units introduced new noise sources. Sustainable design further impacted acoustical design work when the USGBC included mandatory and optional points for the acoustical environment in the LEED rating systems. In this presentation, Mr. Sevener will describe how sustainable design practices have lead to new acoustical problems and considerations for building designers and some of the ways that these acoustical issues can be addressed. Cost is $5 to students unless you are a member! 9711 Valparaiso Drive Enter at North End by Lunchroom Munster, Indiana 46321 | Step 1 - RSVP - Fill in the form and click "submit"

The brew master, has graciously agreed to give us a tour of their facility as well as a guided tasting of their beers. Included with the cost will be a pizza buffet dinner, soft drinks, and a flight of beer samples. Please RSVP! We need to have an idea on the numbers. There will be a pizza buffet, so there will be some flexibility for walk-ins. Stop by even if you haven't RSVP'd. Feel free to invite friends, family, etc. This is one our least technical evenings. Anyone is bound to enjoy the art form of brewing and chilling beer. Dinner Meeting Thursday, September 26
