Did you enjoy our tours this year?  Our Ice-cream session?  Our lunch-n-learns? Wanna be part of the super-smart, super-chill team that makes up UO ASHRAE student leadership?

You know the graduating officers wouldn't let any of our treasured positions go if we weren't departing... but off we'll go in June!  ASHRAE is a great organization to be a part of and we need your help to keep things rolling along into next year.  Come on to LA 206 at noon on Wednesday, May 18 to run, vote, and eat pizza!

We'll preview all available positions again and interested candidates should bring a nice-n-nerdy ASHRAE-related haiku to introduce yourselves with.  It'll be a good time!  Grab your friends!

Come on down to Lawrence 286 at NOON for free pizza and a hearty welcome to the new members of ASHRAE UO's leadership team!  We'll be asking the tough questions:  What are our TOP FIVE SEXIEST buildings with cool integrated mechanical systems solutions?

How do all those words go together?  Trust us.  They do.  We'll show you.

Eat, debate, learn, and get a preview of what ASHRAE wants to bring you this year in services, events and tours.  Bring a friend!  Nerd out!  See you there!

Join ASHRAE for our first meeting of the term (excluding a guest appearance this Saturday at HOPES... come see us work some magic between some stellar HOPES events).

We've got room 206 booked for WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15th at noon.  Come get your pizza on and let's talk about something big: Water, change, and the building industry.  We'll also be discussing our upcoming events, including preparations for the coming year.  Looking to get involved?  Get started this term!

On Tuesday, March 3rd at 4:00pm join the UO ASHRAE crew for a tour of Lane Community College's downtown campus (101 West 10th Avenue, Eugene- across from the Eugene Public Library)!

If you haven't set foot in this building you might not know that it showcases several sustainable design strategies, and looks pretty good doing it.  That's why we've got Roger Ebbage, Director of Energy and Water Education Programs at the Northwest Water and Energy Education Institute to show us around the place.  It'll be a good time, and a great chance to see some systems you might not otherwise.

Sign-up list is outside the door of Pacific 100 (Alison Kwok's office), so head on down there, then head on out on March 3rd to explore LCC Downtown with us!

NASA Tech for Earthly Structures-
What NASA designed for space might have applications for energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and other aspects of the building industry on Earth.  They have an entire database of technologies that they've helped develop in partnership with civilian groups that impact life and research here on earth, with plenty of advancements that have contributed (or have yet to contribute!) to the HVAC/ Homebuilding/Green Building industries.  Check them out here: http://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff/database/
