Dan Diorio Jim Liston Justin Mole Erin Popa
I would like to first thank Dan Diorio for his great job as Boston chapter president this past year. Dan has gone above and beyond to provide chapter members with new and exciting technical
programs, tours, main meetings and social events last year. He has worked closely with various committee members who played an important role in the overall success of the Boston Chapter. Dan was and is a very dedicated and detail oriented individual who has steered the Boston Chapter to complete the year with great success. Please join me in congratulating and thanking Dan for a wonderful year of 2014-2015. He has accomplished so much and his dedication to ASHRAE Boston Chapter will resonate throughout this year and on.
I am very excited this year to be part of the ASHRAE Boston Chapter and to serve as president to bring you great meetings, social events and technical meetings! In the early part of this year, we sent out a survey to get your suggestions about meeting locations and meeting topics. For more details, please refer to Survey Report in this newsletter written by Mike Gilroy. Based on your responses, we have lined up great meeting topics and speakers for main meetings and technical sessions. Also to add on to great topics and speakers, we will have three (3) meetings in Boston at 101 Federal St. I hope that this is exciting news for engineers working in Boston. Please spread the message to all members and non-members about new and exciting things happening at the ASHRAE Boston chapter.
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to it continuing. Please email me and Mark Leonard (program manager) for any ideas for future topics.
I hope you have received our electronic “save the date” postcard for the schedule of our 2015-2016 monthly programs from our attendance chair, Erin Popa. Please save the dates for future meetings.
I hope to see you at our first meeting at TD Garden sponsored by Siemens Industry, INC. Andrew Krenning (Publicity Chair) has done a great job pulling this event together for our members. This event will be not like our typical dinner meeting; it will be panel forum style where we will have five panel members. It will be a fun event where you, as a member, can take part in the action of the meeting. Also join us to take a tour of the facility! Please join us at our first event at TD Garden; you would not want to miss this event.
I look forward to meeting all of you throughout the year. In the meantime, please email me at stacies@Stebbinsduffy.com with any questions, concerns, or suggestions for the Boston Chapter.
See you at TD Garden!

Webmaster’s Notes

The return from the ASHRAE Region I Conference unofficially marks the new season of Boston ASHRAE and the Student Activities Committee. I’ll be spending the next several weeks planning our year that will include opportunities for tours, presentations, and scholarships. I look forward to sharing my goals for the year once they are submitted to the Region I Student Activities Chair for review.
As we do every year, two of the monthly ASHRAE meetings will be designated as ‘Student Nights’. This year, the October 13th meeting will be the first, and the second will occur at our bi-annual New Product & Energy Show at The Lantana in Randolph on April 12th. I’m anticipating a large student presence at all of the meetings this year, but those months will be extremely important. Students in attendance will be recognized in the audience, providing a chance to be seen by all of your potential future employers!
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. This will be my last year as the Student Activities Committee Chair. I’m actively looking for my replacement and would like to start training them for the position as soon as possible. If you or someone you know would be interested in running this fun and rewarding committee, please contact me at any time via email at dan.diorio@bc.edu or stop by and say hello at one of the monthly meetings.

YEA
By: Christine Reinders
I’ m excited to be the Boston YEA chair for the 2015-2016 society year. I’m looking forward to continue to organize YEA events including technical tours and our now annual cornhole tournament. I’d also like to share my experiences being involved at the society level and exciting opportunities for all YEA members.
In June, I participated in the Leadership U program at the Annual Meeting in Atlanta. Leadership U is an ASHRAE program offered by the YEA institute where a YEA member has the opportunity to shadow a society officer at a society meeting and attend all of their events, board meetings, and social activities. Attending a society level meeting can be overwhelming. Having the opportunity to shadow an officer is a window into how ASHRAE works, but truly the best part is the connections that are made. This year, the presidential theme is “making connections” and I encourage everyone to embrace all the connections within our local ASHRAE chapter as well as our region, nationally, and internationally. These connections can help us grow as young engineers, and create relationships that will last throughout our careers.
Some of the highlights from my experience in Atlanta include attending board meetings, learning more about ASHRAE’s relationship with national & international organizations such as UNEP, AIA, USGBC, IES, & DOE, as well as learning the paths that society officers have taken in ASHRAE. I also attended tech council meetings and technical committee meetings. Having attended society level and TC meetings in the past, a big highlight included in the Leadership U program is attending the society social events such as the welcome party, president’s luncheon,
and member’s night out. These events are open to everyone to register, but I had never attended in the past not having many society level connections. If you have the opportunity to attend a society level meeting, do take the time to attend these events! ASHRAE is a volunteer
organization and it’s important to be involved and serve on committees that interest you, but also it’s about connecting with each other. Make connections, volunteer!
Applications are now being accepted for the Leadership U program at the Winter Conference in Orlando! If you have any questions, please let me know! I hope to see you there.

ASHRAE Legionella Standard Adopted In New York Following Outbreak —
ATLANTA – With 12 confirmed dead and more than 120 cases of infection due to legionellosis, New York City Council on Thursday adopted legislation that requires adherence to part of ASHRAE’s newly published Legionella standard.
The legislation addresses registration and inspection of cooling towers. It requires owners to create and file a plan to maintain equipment to comply with Section 7.2 of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2015, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems.
The standard provides minimum Legionellosis risk management requirements for the design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and expansion of new and existing buildings and their associated water systems and components.
“Standard 188 was published just two short months ago,” ASHRAE President David Underwood said. “Although the circumstances surrounding its use are tragic, ASHRAE is grateful that the standard is available to set requirements to manage risk of this bacteria. We are hopeful other governments will follow the lead of the New York City Council to help safeguard public health.”
Michael Patton, a member of the committee who wrote the standard, testified before the Council earlier this week on behalf of ASHRAE. He spoke to the Council’s proposal to adopt Section 7.2, noting that other sections also would play a role in reducing risks. Section 7.2 lists common tasks and steps for items such as new system start-up and seasonal shutdowns, general system maintenance, water treatment, disinfection plans, etc.
While Patton encouraged full adoption of the standard, he said it was helpful that at least Section 7.2 was included. Patton was thanked by chairman Jumaane Williams for making himself and ASHRAE available so quickly.
“Section 7 is very good by itself,” Patton testified, “but it doesn't really address the whole idea of
informing building owners, managers, property managers
how to put a plan for a whole building into place and what it should contain.”
Underwood said ASHRAE will continue its work in getting the
full standard adopted in New York City and in other locations.
Specific requirements in the standard include:
Minimum Legionellosis risk management requirements for buildings and their associated potable and non-potable water systems.
Establishment by building owners of a Program Team and (in turn) a Water Management Program for which they are responsible in order to comply with the standard.
Provision of specific and detailed requirements for what Legionellosis control strategies must accomplish and how they are to be documented – but, does not provide (or place restrictions on) what specific strategies are to be used or applied
While Patton encouraged full
adoption of the standard, he
said it was helpful that at least
Section 7.2 was included.

In February of this year, ASHRAE Boston’s Chapter Officers and Board of Governors (BOG) decided to reach out to the chapter members to provide a platform for voicing opinions on chapter operations. Boston is the largest chapter in ASHARE, with over 1100 members. Therefore, the Chapter Officers & the BOG were confident an internet based survey would be able to gather opinions successfully.
From the initial question, the majority of survey responders attended 0 or 1-3 meetings a year. Responders felt that PDH credit availability was not a critical factor in
their meeting attendance and that the technical content and variety of ASHRAE meetings was adequate to above average. Most responders agreed that the Technical Sessions, when provided before the Main Meetings were informative, worthwhile, and thus should be continued in upcoming years.
One topic that the Chapter Officers & the BOG were most interested in gaining member feedback on is the actual location of the monthly meeting. For years, meetings have been held at the Waltham Embassy Suites locations. Discussions have repeatedly circled around the idea of moving meetings to downtown Boston, or other locations, in order to provide more opportunities for members to attend meetings. Based on the survey, 23% of members felt the physical location was a strong limiting factor in their attendance, while 18% of members strongly disagreed that meeting location impacted their attendance. In a related question, the majority of members expressed they would not be willing to utilize a shuttle
service from downtown Boston to the monthly meeting. 50% of members wish to keep meetings in Waltham, with 39% of members preferring meetings in downtown Boston. The following question asked if members would be willing to pay an increased fee to move meetings closer to downtown Boston. The weighted average of responders signaled that an increased meeting fee is not desired.
Other takeaways from the survey include:
85% of members confirmed that evening meetings are preferred over morning breakfast, lunchtime, or weekend meetings.
Members also responded that they were interested in additional, more social sessions such as facility tours, bowling nights, YEA events, etc.
Most members would prefer that the monthly meetings are able to be viewed live from a web-cast. The Chapter Officers and BOG see this as a possible solution to help those who wish to attend but cannot due to geographical location, busy schedules, etc.
The Chapter Officers and BOG for the upcoming ASHRAE year will be evaluating ways to implement the feedback provided from our members. Please look for these changes and feel free to contact us with any additional thoughts on the chapter’s operation!

News from GGAC - The Vermont Board of Professional Engineering voted 4-1 to reject a move to increase the educational requirement from a bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree at their May 7, 2015 meeting.
Over the past few months, the Board has received a tremendous amount of input from the public on this issue including a full-day public hearing two months ago that gave all interested parties the opportunity to voice their opinion without any time limits or constraints. Additionally, ASHRAE joined ASME and 10 other national societies in sending a letter of opposition to the proposed change. After careful consideration, the Board came to the determination that there is not sufficient reason or evidence to support any proposed legislation to increase the minimum education required for licensure to a Master's degree or equivalent.
As of July 1 2015 GGAC changed from Grassroots Government Activities Committee to Grassroots Government Advocacy Committee.

Federal Activities
Members of Congress Activities
September will be largely occupied by debate over the annual funding bills. The new fiscal year begins October 1, and if Congress hasn’t enacted their bills by this time, they’ll need to pass a continuing resolution to avert a partial government shutdown.
October is when Congress will need to raise the debt ceiling or confront uncomfortable spending decisions. This is also the month when funding for the federal highway trust fund expires. These two issues alone will likely take up much of the month.
Members of Congress are back in their States and Districts for much of November, leaving only 11 days to work on legislation.
As a result, December currently looks to be the most likely month for consideration and passage of comprehensive energy legislation to occur. However, this assumes that other issues don’t dominate the Congressional agenda and push consideration to next year - which may be a stretch.
With elections for the entire House, one-third of the Senate, and the Presidency in 2016, along with the annual issues Congress must address, many believe that if comprehensive legislation doesn’t pass this year, the next opportunity may not occur until 2017. Interestingly however, Members of Congress may not be willing to wait that long. Consequently, the lace of alternative plans to enact energy legislation are already beginning to appear. The next several weeks will be crucial. Stay tuned…
Request for Information Issued on Building Diagnostic Technologies
DOE has issued a request for information (RFI) seeking information from the public on diagnostic technologies that can be used to identify infiltration through the envelope, including in and around fenestration, of residential and commercial buildings. In particular, DOE’s Building Technologies Office is interested in the current state-of-the-art in infiltration diagnostic technologies, forthcoming research and development advances that could reduce cost or improve performance, and the potential market implications of improved infiltration diagnostics. Responses to this RFI will impact the development of the BENEFIT 2016 FOA.
Comments on due by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 16, 2015. Full information is available here.

Rooftop Solar Panels
Google on Aug. 17 introduced a new tool that enables homeowners to calculate the costs and benefits of installing rooftop solar panels. Typing a home address into Google's Project Sunroof website presents the user with a neighborhood view, with roofs color-coded to show their levels of usable sunlight and how many square feet of space is available for solar panels. (Continued on next page)...
15
...(Continued from previous page) The tool calculates how much money a resident would save with a solar rooftop, then directs the user to companies that can install a solar system. For now, the project is limited to the San Francisco Bay area, Fresno, Calif., and metropolitan Boston. The tool uses the same high-resolution aerial imagery used in Google's Maps and Earth products. Along with pushing Americans to adopt cleaner energy practices, Google plans to eventually make money from the new product with a commission for each Web referral to a solar energy provider.
Pedaling for STEM
Harvard, MIT students cycle, teach across country to promote science
August 7, 2015
By Alvin Powell, Harvard Staff Writer
They straggled into the rainy Virginia campground on their bikes, wet and exhausted, then struggled to pitch their tents and figure out how to fire up the stove so they could eat.
It was the first of June, and with 22 miles down, they still had more than 3,000 to go.
“The first day we did 22 miles. It was the longest 22 miles we could ever experience,” said Tola Omilana, a biomedical engineering concentrator at Harvard entering his senior year.
Thursday, Omilana and five other students — three from Harvard and two from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — coasted over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, marking the end of a cross-country bike trip that tested them physically and mentally even as it offered students in a dozen towns a peek into STEM education, as in science, technology, engineering, and math.
The students biked and stopped in smaller cities, such as Hazard, Ky., Newton, Kan., and Carson City, Nev., as well as a couple of larger ones, such as Salt Lake City and Kansas City. The students offered six-hour workshops, which they called “learning festivals,” on robotics, rocketry, and computer science to 400 schoolchildren along the way.
“Not everybody gets a chance to do something that will stay with you for the rest of your life,” said Brian Wagner, a Harvard sophomore interested in physics and economics. “But … it also combines our ability to … really promote science and share our love of that with kids from all over the country. [During] the learning festivals we’ve held, we’ve made great connections with the kids, and that’s also why we do it.”
The students are part of a group called “Spokes,” which got its start two years ago at MIT and which aims to offer, in collaboration with the education platforms edX and Teach for America, a summer adventure that allows students to do some good as they go.
Francesca Childs, a Harvard junior studying astrophysics and physics, said the trip came together late in the spring, leaving participants scrambling to organize the journey even as they juggled classwork and other commitments. Their plan on returning to campus is to create a Harvard Spokes club, which, as a student activity, might qualify it for some University support and, from an organizational standpoint, make it easier for students to do something similar next summer.
Life on the road got easier after that first soggy day but never really got easy, according to Simon Shuham, a junior studying mechanical engineering and computer science. Though biking across the country sounds like a tough physical challenge going in, you’re not really prepared for just how tough it is, Shuham said. The physical toll took down one member of the team. Harvard junior Shadi Fadaee developed a knee injury that, after a month’s perseverance, she ultimately couldn’t shake. For the rest of the team, Shuham said the trick was to break the trip down — just focus on today’s miles today and tomorrow’s miles tomorrow — which made the long effort “surprisingly doable.”
In a different way, the off days for teaching were challenging as well, Shuham said, between preparing the lessons and equipment, shifting gears mentally, and then instructing for six hours.
Members of the group took turns driving a support van that contained laptops and equipment for the learning festivals, and offered logistical support for the ride. Crossing Nevada, for example, meant rides of 70 to 90 miles between towns, so the van had to carry water for the riders and find places for them to stop, eat and rest.
“I’ve always been into traveling, hiking. There’s no better way to see the country,” Shuham said. (Continued on next page)…

HISTORICAL NEWS
By: Eric Edman
NorthEastAire September 2015
…(Continued from previous page) “You see parts of the country — the deserts of Nevada — that most people don’t get to see. Hopefully we’ll make a difference and can feel we did something important with our summer.”
As the riders’ physical conditioning improved, so did their daily mileage. That first day’s 22 miles may have been the shortest leg, Omilana said, and they eventually were regularly logging 60 to 90 miles. On Tuesday, the long downhill from the Sierra Nevadas brought them 95 miles to Lodi, Calif., and a drop of 9,000 feet in altitude.
When asked to sum up the trip, Omilana hesitated, saying that each day was so full of emotions and sensations — physical exhaustion, the growing bonds of the team, awe at the kindness of strangers — that it was difficult to put the experience succinctly in words.
“You get to know people on an intimate level,” Omilana said. “It’s been very cool to see the team learn to work together. Making it to the destination is weird. People have mixed feelings.”

It was quite an election. No mudslinging for a change. Luckily my opponent remained silent on many key issues.
My sincere thanks to all of you for re-electing me into office!!
Most of you know me as a past president*, most of you also know past presidents retire, and just go away someplace for old past presidents. You are not so fortunate. I decided to stick around and torture you with bad humor.
We do have some goals for the coming year, but, I was thinking some of you may have a suggestion and I am here to listen and earn your past vote.
I few ideas I have:
a. Birthdays of members in newsletter (leave out the year)
b. Electronic cataloging our library.
c. Historical article on past chapter member now deceased.
d. Interview another Fellow in our chapter.
Again, I am here to listen to any creative ideas that think inside AND outside the box.
Thanks again
Eric

Now that my 1-year term as the Boston Chapter President is over, it’s time to raise some money for ASHRAE!
Teri Shannon did an amazing job last year by raising nearly $23,000 and exceeding her fundraising goal. I’m planning to follow her lead and eclipse the fundraising goal that Region I has set for the Boston Chapter - $22,800.
We’ll meet this goal using previous methods such as earmarking proceeds from certain events and asking for generosity from local vendors and companies that have always supported ASHRAE. Additionally, we are looking into potential Chapter Sponsorship opportunities where companies will be able to be recognized at certain events for helping out with costs and at the same time making donations to ASHRAE.
If you’re already interested in making a donation to ASHRAE Research, please do so using the form in this Newsletter or by contacting me directly.
If there are ASHRAE members looking to help out with the committee or suggest fundraising ideas, please contact me at any time via email at dan.diorio@bc.edu.
