Into the Unknown
Things have been a little crazy right now, and there are a lot of unknowns, but hopefully as the temperatures rise, our spirits will too!
We were bummed to have to push back the CRC, but as Jamie said in her blog post on April 23, priority NUMBER 1 is the health of the public. The current rescheduled date for the conference is October 25th through October 27th, but you can find any new information or updates here.
As soon as we get the green light, you will also be hearing from us about future meetings. So stay tuned!
8th Annual Golf Outing
Dust off your golf clubs because the Golf Outing is just around the corner! The 8th Annual Central Illinois ASHRAE Golf Outing is scheduled to take place on September 14, 2020 at the El Paso Golf Club. More details about the event and course-specific social distancing guidelines are still to follow, so keep checking those emails!
While you're at it, add September 16, 2020 to your calendars for the Rockford ASHRAE Golf Outing!
Quarantine Reading
If you have run through your reading material during your time in quarantine, look no further! Here are some great reads that we have found to fill any extra time that you might have:
The ASHRAE COVID page has tons of resources documenting how the HVAC world is adapting to this crisis. These unprecedented times call on us to look at solutions from different angles, and it's amazing how much our field can do to prevent the spread of airborne illnesses.
If you're looking for some material to give you a break from all the madness, check these out! This article covers the use of infrared reflecting paint to keep buildings cool, and Wyss Institute's studies on a system that cools without adding humidity is documented here.
Congratulations!
We would like to congratulate all of the new CI ASHRAE officers and thank all of those who have held a position over the past year! Thank you all for stepping up to the plate to help strengthen our Chapter!
