Thank you to all 26 respondents who completed the Louisville ASHRAE Membership Program Survey. Your input will help us serve you better. We have taken the results from the survey and are building our program around those. Currently, the Louisville Chapter has 197 area assigned members. That means we had less than a 15% completion rate for the survey. To increase this for next year’s survey, we will be increasing our engagement with the membership to provide you with all the benefits that ASHRAE has to offer.
To start the year, we will have Dennis Knight, Former ASHRAE Society VP speaking on COVID-19 and building readiness. This is something you all have asked for and we have secured.
Membership Program Survey Winner: Dennis Barrett

Please join us on Wednesday, August 19thth for our first chapter meeting of the 2020-2021 ASHRAE year
This chapter meeting will be held virtually
Topic: Creating a Building Readiness Plan (Including Viral Preparedness)
The session will discuss the practical information in the Building Readiness Guide on the ASHRAE website to help understand how to analyze and create a Building Readiness Plan to assist in the re-occupancy of existing buildings. The course discusses how your HVAC system might be designed to respond to an infectious virus, like SARS-CoV-2 that creates the COVID-19 disease, in addition to alterations to incorporate mitigation strategies. This goes into steps prior to occupancy as well as looking at how you can future proof your buildings.
