Our afternoon seminar on May 6th will be about
Smoke Management, and it will aim to clear the air about what it takes
to design and build an effective smoke management system. Tom Edwards
will talk about smoke control strategies and design options. He'll also
cover active and passive smoke management strategies and several levels of
related code requirements. Tom is president of Ruskin Manufacturing,
located in Grandview, Mo. He is a past president of AMCA. Ruskin is a
leading producer of air measuring stations, control dampers, tunnel dampers,
fire and smoke dampers, louvers and duct silencers for the HVAC industry.
Rolf Jensen & Associates, a leading engineering
firm in the field of fire protection and life safety issues, will provide a
presenter who will delve more deeply into smoke control designs offering
examples of systems to handle smoke management in stairwells and elevator
shafts in high-rise buildings, atriums and areas of refuge, and storage
facilities.
The afternoon seminar will qualify
for 3 professional development hours (PDHs).
Our monthly meeting, which follows the seminar, will
feature two more presentations. One will discuss the upcoming ASHRAE
Regional Conference, May 15 - 17, at the Englewood Resort in Itasca, Ill.
Mark Hegberg, conference chairman for the host Illinois Chapter, will
describe the various educational, social and ASHRAE administration programs
planned for the event. We'll also use the May 6 meeting to honor 50-year
members and Life Members in the Illinois Chapter. Several have received
special invitations. Dan Watkins, Membership Chair, will present
certificates to all who attend.
The cost for the afternoon seminar is
$30, $35 for the dinner meeting, or $65 for both. Parking is available in an
enclosed garage across the street from
Moretti's. Be sure to get your parking ticket
validated at the bar to receive a reduced parking rate.
