September 2015

I want to thank everyone who came out to our first chapter meeting last month. We had a great turn out with around 100 people attending.

It’s always nice to see familiar faces and catch up with everyone after a long hot summer. It was a great presentation from David Quirk on

Building Controls and what it looks like in the future. If you are interested in being a lunch or dinner sponsor, feel free to email me at

[email protected]. We have some of our meetings still available.

The chapter works hard to provide as many quality activities for our members as we can. October is full of ways to get out and have fun with

your fellow ASHRAE members. In addition to our regularly scheduled chapter meeting, we have our first YEA sponsored Georgia Tech

Tailgate, Fall Golf Tournament, and at Habitat for Humanity event. Go the ASHRAE Atlanta website for more details and to register.

I am still looking for more volunteers to fill co-chair positions in our chapter. Please visit our website at

http://www.ashraeatlanta.org/GetInvolved to learn more about the different committees in the chapter. If you are interested in any of the

committees or have any questions, feel free to send me an email.

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, October 13th at Maggiano’s - Cumberland Mall for our first Dinner meeting of the year! The

emphasis will be Research & Promotions as well as Student Activities. Go to ashraeatlanta.org to register now before it’s too late!

Description:

Live Long, Healthy and Low Energy

Are people live in urban environment longer living and lower energy? Since 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, we

should ensure urban environment is where humans will thrive. From regression analysis done by the SOM team, urban dwellers tend to

live longer than the rural residents. In fact, dense environment often coincide with longer life expectancy. Compare to rural communities,

urban dwellers also consumes less energy. However, are urban dweller healthier and how can we further lower our energy consumption?

Using Amish communities as a study case, this lecture will compare how our urban environment also brings about more allergy, autism,

asthma, etc. cases, and how we can use nature and technology thriving together to make us healthier. Also using district scale system

examples around the world, this lecture will study how cities and towns in US can lower entropy through beyond buildings integration.

(This lecture is currently submitted for 1 hour of AIA/USGBC credit approval)
