We are honoured to have the new global president of ASHRAE Darryl K Boyce visit us to deliver his inaugural presidential speech here in the UK Midlands. Darryl will be joined by one of the most interesting, and perhaps least considered aspects of building services design - cyber security. Michael Wigington of J Dunton Associates will discuss how we prevent our controls systems from becoming a back door cyber infection path to client organisations.

Ashrae UK Midlands Chapter are proud to host our Student Competition and Conference. As well as our usual high quality student papers and awards ceremony we will also have two eminent speakers, Adam Taylor from WellAir and Martin Ronceray from BSRIA to present on Indoor Air Quality and Soft Landings respectively. See below and click the attachments for more details.

ASHRAE UK Chapters of London and South East and UK Midlands are pleased to hold our first joint event on the important topic of Indoor Air Quality. Joining us tonight for what should be a compelling evening are Distinguished Lecturer Chandra Sekhar from Singapore University, and Edward Murphy from Ollio. Chandra will be start on the topic of enhanced ventilation strategies for optimal indoor IAQ to be followed by Edward who will reprise his paper delivered to CIBSE Technical Symposium on IAQ sensors and the wellbeing agenda.

Ashrae Distinguished Lecturer Tim Wentz will join us again in the UK Midlands to deliver his lecture on the Impact of Occupant Behaviour on Future Building Performance. Tim's Lecture will feature on Day 1 of what will be a three day workshop on the same topic.

ASHRAE UK-Midlands Chapter and our co-hosts Loughborough University Women's Engineering Society are proud to host our Distinguished Lecture Conference 2019. The event is a free full day conference event and exhibition which will be headlined by our ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer.

 

Our Distinguished Lecture for this year is THOMAS M. LAWRENCE, Ph.D., P.E., LEED-AP from University of Georgia, Atlanta.

The subject of Tom's presentation will be High Performance Building Design – What the Future holds for the Direction for our Industry

During the past two decades, we have seen the growth and maturation of the green or high-performance building design concept.   Dr. Lawrence provides an overview of how building systems have evolved to meet the demands for green building design and where we are headed in the future in this arena.  Also covered are topics such as the evolution of building design standards to include sustainability features, how building designers can overcome obstacles to include these advanced low carbon concepts in their designs, the impact of new technologies such as a renewables, smart grid and BIM on modern MEP design, and discussion on how this will impact the future industry.
