Meeting Program:

Our March speaker is Mr. Lee Burgett, P.E., the current president of ASHRAE, who will talk to us on the future goals and responsibilities of ASHRAE as he sees them.
 
To quote Mr. Burgett:

"The Chinese have a proverb, "when you drink the water, remember the spring."  Everyone in our industry drinks the water of ASHRAE's technology every day.
ASHRAE is a unique technical organization.  We come together as professionals in our fields not simply to promote our own development and success, but to promote a public good that benefits society as a whole.  We do it by developing and promoting technology, enhancing productivity, improving health and safety in the built environment, and setting professional standards that are a model of excellence around the world.*        Promote energy conservation.

*         Develop economically viable applications of renewable energy.

*         Increase workplace productivity, IAQ.

*         Develop methods that allow designers to accurately and confidently model a building in virtual reality, anywhere in the world in no more than one week's time by 2010.

The proposed plan contains some innovative and aggressive goals.  "The task now is to execute the plan as quickly as possible. And, ASHRAE must proactively reach out to other organizations that share these goals and are willing to collaborate."

Mr. Burgett will talk to us on these issues and the role that ASHRAE can play.

He is active in a number of industry organizations, including the U.S. Green Building Council, the Canadian Standards Association, Underwriters Laboratories Inc., the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Mr. Burgett completed his secondary education at East Grand Rapids (Michigan) in 1957, received his bachelor of science in 1961 and his master of science in mechanical engineering in 1962 from Michigan State University and his master's in business administration from the University of Wisconsin in 1972.
