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!

Remember: ASHRAE LUNCH AND LEARN MEETING:

Where we'll eat pizza and learn about Apollo 13, the ISS, and:

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/
