The President s Message
By John Hodoway
Greetings to Arkansas
ASHRAE. We are at the beginning of another ASHRAE year
and are building on a record of
great success. It s an honor to
serve as your Chapter President
this year.
John Carter has won the Pinnacle Award for raising the most
money for ASHRAE research in
the entire society. Congratulations to John for a job well done.
John would be the first to tell you
that he did not do this alone. He
had a hard working committee
and a generous chapter and
that s what made the difference.
ASHRAE is a volunteer organization and it is our hard working volunteers that make everything happen.
Society President Terry
Townsend has made sustainability his theme for this year. Our
chapter will have meetings on the
ASHRAE Green Guide, the application of LEED to existing buildings, and we are planning a tour
of the new Heifer International
Headquarters, a building that is
projected to use only 45% of the
energy allowed by ASHRAE 90.1.
We will also have joint meetings
with USGBC, CSI, and IES.
Our first continuing education
event, the annual joint ASHRAE/
NEBB seminar, is scheduled for
the 22nd of September. Put that
on your calendar. It is always a
highly informative session and
offers 6 PDHs in one sitting.
Our fall golf tournament is
also right around the corner on
October 6.
Our September meeting
starts our official chapter year.
Our program is School Standards
for Mechanical Systems. Bring
someone to the meeting with you
and let s start another great
ASHRAE year.

Engineering Tip
Submitted by
Charles Wetzler, PE, LEED AP
As mechanical engineers, we
are usually responsible for the plumbing part of our projects as well as the
HVAC portion. This month's tip applies to projects seeking LEED certification, and targeting Credits WE 3.1
and 3.2, water conservation. It is the
objective of these credits to reduce
water consumption of the facility by
20% and 30% respectively, when
compared to fixture performance requirements of the Energy Policy Act
of 1992. Everyone is familiar with the
1.6 gallon toilet flush mandated by
this act and most of us have our horror stories. Because of these experiences, it is often difficult to persuade
owners or engineers to consider even
lower flow water closets, and many

are not ready to make the leap to
composting toilets. So where does
the designer turn for water savings?
In the 1970s, flow restrictors,
which limited showers to 2.5 gpm
were popular for hotels, schools, prisons and medical facilities. The above
mentioned Act made that 2.5 gpm for
showers the standard. So, if your
project also targets Credit SS 4.2,
Alternative Transportation, requiring
showers and changing rooms, you
can add either a flow restricting head
limiting flow to 1.8 gpm or below, or,
for less money, insert a restricting
device between the head and shower
arm.
Even more effective is to restrict
the flow of the sinks and lavatories.
Standard for faucets on these fixtures
is 2.5 gpm, with low flow considered
to be 1.8. Faucets which restrict
flows to the lower amounts are gener-
ally more costly. There is, however, a
cost efficient method which is just as
effective and works with standard faucets. Several years ago, we began
specifying flow restricting aerators on
the outlets of all faucets and sinks. At
the time, there were few manufacturers, and suppliers scrambled to find
aerators that fit their products. Now,
with numerous cities and states requiring these devices, there are more
manufacturers available. I prefer 1.0
gpm for lavatories and bar sinks, with
1.8 gpm for kitchen sinks. We first
applied this successfully on the Clinton Library, and since, on two more
LEED certified buildings. Try this on
your next LEED project (especially
schools). Plug the numbers into the
Credit 3 calculator (you will have to
user define the 1.0 gpm) and you'll be
surprised at the results.

Student Activities
Submitted by
Bill Simpson, - Student Activities Chair
The start of a new ASHRAE
season means the start of a new
school year. The Student Activities
Committee has been busy preparing
for the new year.
Jason Brannen will be serving
as the NW Section SA Liaison. His
experience with Mini Baja and connections at U of A should help us reenergize the U of A chapter. After
meeting with Dr. Nutter and Dr. Couvillion, the faculty advisors for the U
of A student chapter, several activities are being planned. Some of
those activities include a visit by Jason to Dr. Nutter s HVAC class to
advise students about working in our
industry and recruit them to join ASHRAE, a joint tour with the ASHRAE
and ASME student chapters of a
building in the construction process,
and a student night at the November
meeting.
The ATU student chapter
hopes to build on the success they ve
had in recent years. Their student
chapter has appointed officers and is
in the process of planning their year
as well. We hope to set up speakers
and help organize tours for their
chapter meetings. A planning meeting is currently being scheduled with
Dr. Helmer and the ATU chapter officers to get the year rolling in Russellville.
In addition to the traditional
student activities focus at U of A and
ATU, this year we hope to get Pulaski Tech and UALR involved as
well. Historically, many of our chapter members have volunteered their
time at Pulaski Tech. Consequently,
many of the students who have
graduated from that program have
gone on to have successful careers
in our industry. One goal this year is
to organize our efforts at Pulaski
THE
THE RAZORBACK
RAZORBACK REPORT
Tech and investigate signing them up
as a new student chapter.
With their recent ABET accreditation, UALR will be another potential student chapter. The student
activities committee has already
made contact with the faculty at
UALR and hope to generate interest
in ASHRAE within their engineering
department.
One of ASHRAE s main services to college students is our scholarship program. The deadline for
applying has been established as
October 1. If you know any students
who would be good candidates for
the scholarship, please direct
them
to
our
website
(www.arksansasashrae.org) where
they can download the application. If
they have any questions, they can
contact me at wsimpson@trane.com.
Another service we provide is
career development. If you are interested in hiring a student for an internship, a part-time or full-time position,
please e-mail me a description of the
position, so we can work with faculty
advisors to help you fill those positions with qualified students and
graduates.
ASHRAE Student Activities is
not just limited to college. It is important for us to encourage students in
K-12 as well. E-week is February 1824. The student activities committee
plans to have a minimum of 8 Eweek activities. That means we need
your support. If you are willing to go
speak to a class (not just during Eweek), please let me know so we can
help you set something up. For more
information specifically on E-week,
you can also check out
www.eweek.org.
The list of potential student
activities is limitless. If you are interested in helping in any capacity,
please contact me. We re looking
forward to a great year in student
activities.

ASHRAE Technology Awards
Program
Submitted by Shaun Hayes
Effective energy utilization is
just one of several aspects of facility
and building design. The ASHRAE
Technology Awards program recognizes, on an international scale, successful applications of innovative design, which incorporate ASHRAE
standards for effective energy management, indoor air quality, and good
mechanical design.
The purpose of the ASHRAE
Technology Awards is threefold:
1. To recognize ASHRAE members who design and/or conceive innovative technological concepts that are proven through actual
operating data.
2. To communicate innovative systems design to other ASHRAE members.
3. To highlight technological achievements of
ASHRAE to others, including associated
professionals and societies worldwide, as
well as building and facility owners.
All current members of ASHRAE and its Associate Societies may
submit entries. Entrants must have
had a significant role in the design or
development of the project.
ASHRAE Technology Award
applications are accepted in each of
the following categories:
Commercial Buildings (New and Existing)
Institutional Buildings (New and Existing)
Health Care Facilities (New and Existing)
Industrial Facilities or Processes (New and
Existing)
Public Assembly Facilities (New and Existing)
Residential Buildings (New and Existing)
Single Family Multi-Family (Low and High
Rise)
Alternative or Renewable Energy Use
Awards are given at the judges
discretion. All first-place awards in
each category are automatically eligible for consideration for the

Membership Report
Submitted by
James Dayer - Membership Chairman
I hope everyone had a great
summer! Its time to start-up a new
year in ASHRAE. What better way
to start the new year, than to welcome some new members that
joined us over the summer. We
have Arron Cooper from Lowell,
Robert Feighl from Hot Springs,
Dennis Miller from Fayetteville, Michelle Whillock from Hector, Anthony Welter from Lowell, Kristoffer
Knickrehm from Sheridan, and Craig
Phillips from Hot Springs. I would
like to personally welcome our newest members, and look forward to
seeing you at our September meeting.
I encourage everyone to keep looking for new members among your
colleagues and friends. If everyone
would commit to bringing just one or
two people to our meetings throughout the year, this could lead to great
leaps in our membership numbers.
We just need the opportunity to
show them the benefits of being an
ASHRAE member. A growing chapter is a healthy chapter. As always,
if you have any questions pertaining
to membership, please give me a
call, and I ll be happy to assist you.

Chapter Technology
Transfer
Submitted by
Steve Titus, PE, - CTTC Chair
Another ASHRAE year is
upon us, and I know we will all pull
together to make it better than ever.
In my first article as CTTC, I would
like to start by thanking Tom Hanlon
for all his hard work planning our
educational seminars. He has done
an outstanding job over the last several years, bringing us lots of opportunities for professional development hours and good seminar topics. Tom has decided it is time for a
much deserved break, and I would
like to applaud him for a job well
done.
I think we have an exciting
program schedule this year, and we
are starting of with a "Government
Affairs" meeting. Tim Staley of TME
will be presenting a tech session
reviewing the recent Energy Policy
Act, and Doug Eaton of the Department of Education will be handling
the our program on the new academic standards and their effect on
mechanical systems. Our September meetings is also focusing Membership Promotion. I encourage eve-
ryone to bring some people form
your office who are not members,
and let's show them what ASHRAE
can do for them.
For anyone who may be interested, we are still looking for a couple of tech session speaker. This is
a great time to highlight our local
engineers, and I am looking for participation from as many firms as
possible. If you have an interesting
application, case study or would like
to review a technical paper you have
recently read, contact me so we can
get you a place in our calendar.
In October we are going to be
kicking of our Chapter Technology
Awards competition. All of you start
thinking about projects you have
done in the past few years that may
qualify. We will provide you with a
short form to fill out describing the
project, and the winners will be forwarded to Region VIII for the regional competition. This is an area
in which our chapter has fallen
short, and I am sure that their are
plenty of projects that will represent
Arkansas well at the region.
I am looking forward to a great
year, and encourage all of you to
contact me with any ideas of how to
make this year even better.

NW Section Update
Submitted by
Benjamin Dye, - NW Section Chair
September is almost here,
which means, of course, the USC
Trojans are headed to the Ozarks.
Hopefully, the Hogs will put up a
better fight this time around. September also means a welcome
break from the sweltering summer
heat and time to begin a new series
of monthly ASHRAE meetings. I am
extremely excited to serve as this
years Presidential Liaison for the
Northwest Arkansas Section and am
also excited about this year s lineup
of programs. Steve Titus has done a
phenomenal job setting our schedule. Most of our dates are already
filled, but there are a few dates still
open. If there is a topic in which you
would be more interested in learning
about, please let me know.
Our first meeting will be on
Thursday September 7th back at the
AQ Chicken House in Springdale at
5:30. As several of you have requested, we are going to try some
different locations for the first three
or four meetings and may also try a
lunch meeting once this year. Hopefully, we can settle on one spot by
the end of the year. This year s first
program will be on School Standards for Mechanical Systems presented by Doug Eaton from the Arkansas Department of Education.
School buildings are undoubtedly
one of the fastest growing markets
in Northwest Arkansas, and we will
most likely see this growth continue
over the next decade. Many different
types of systems have been designed and installed. Come on out to
discover what is actually acceptable
in new and remodeled school building projects. Please be thinking of
questions you would like to ask
Doug. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to become better
informed on the successful completion of compliant school projects. If
you do not receive an evite this
week or have suggestions for an
alternate meeting location, please
email me at bdye@trane.com.
During our first meeting, we
will also talk about our NWA Steering Committee and ways to become
more involved with the NWA section
of the chapter, so be thinking of improvement opportunities and ways
you would like to contribute! I hope
to see all of you on September 7th!
I hope you have noticed the
newsletter has a different look. I
am trying to make changes to the
publication as suggested by the
newsletter judging committee. My
objective is to gain recognition at
the CRC in Oklahoma City as having the best newsletter in our region. During the summer Rick
Sellers suggested that I work with
Debbie Kelly who s job is graphic
design. Debbie gave me some
really great ideas and showed me
some things that I could do differently. One of my favorite suggestions that she offered was to rename the newsletter to Venting . I
thought this might be a stretch for
our conservative organization so
instead, I decided that throughout
this year, I would title my article in
recognition of Debbie s guidance.
Thanks, Debbie!
Board of Governor, Charles
Wetzler suggested the idea of providing an Engineering Tip in the
newsletter each month.
This
month he provided a great tip on
water conservation. I would encourage all members share your
engineering ideas with the community so that we can collectively
move toward a sustainable environment. With that said, I would
appreciate any tips that you would
be willing to share with the chapter.
Another feature that I would
like to publish on at a quarterly basis is a highlight of our local projects that are going to be submitted
for technology awards. I have
heard that several consulting firms
plan to submit projects this year so
look forward to seeing more about
these projects. If you have a project that you would like to highlight,
please send me an email.
Because this newsletter is
aimed at informing our valued
members, I am always open to
new ideas or suggestions. Your
comments will be greatly appreciated. You can reach me by email
at cahne@trane.com.

Night pre-cooling,
naturally daylit areas and lowemission HVAC systems are some of
the sustainable measures selected by
students as part of ASHRAE s 2006
Student Design Competition.
This year s competition focused
on the mixed-use renovation of the
Dallas Power & Light building in a historic area of Dallas. The renovation
includes converting the majority of the
former office building into residential
apartments, with retail space occupying the first floor of the building.
Awards were announced in three categories: HVAC system selection, HVAC
system design and architectural design.
The winning entries in the
HVAC system selection and HVAC
system design categories are awarded
to the same team from The Pennsylvania State University: Justin Bem,
Kevin Kaufman, David Melfi, Jon Gridley, Jessica Lucas and Yulien Wong.
Their faculty advisor is William P.
Bahnfleth, Ph.D, P.E.
For the HVAC system selection
category, the students selected water
source heat pumps, giving the system
a life cycle cost of $7,464,000. The
system selected calls for water-source
heat pumps to parallel the one rooftop
unit serving floors two through 20 and
an additional rooftop unit for the firstlevel retail area. This system allows
for easily converting first-level retail
space to a new function, limits maintenance disruption to individual apartments and the roof, and allows for
separate metering of retail space.
The ventilation systems were
evaluated using Standard 62.1 and on
their ability to fit into available mechanical room and shaft space. The
option chosen was a rooftop unit paralleled by WSHP for residential units,
and a rooftop unit serving the retail
areas. The students said, The separation of the two types of spaces allows for better flexibility in the system
and allows for future growth.
The system also allowed for
lower cost and emissions as well while
allowing the building meet Standard
90.1 without compromising historic
integrity of building.
For the HVAC system design
category, the students designed a decoupled outdoor air system with a parallel sensible system with an energy
cost of $4.72/square foot per year.
Because the mechanical penthouse on the second-floor roof of the
annex was so close to the ground,
dealing with architectural, environmental and acoustical impacts were
serious considerations. Some of the
solutions the students used were:
night time pre-cooling with unconditioned night air, and using only fan
energy for the retail spaces to reduce
cooling load during the day. The students also used a dedicated outdoor
air system.
First place in the architectural
design category is awarded to Alissa
Ogen and Sonia Carias of Savannah
College of Art and Design. Their faculty advisor is Emad M. Afifi, Ph.D..
The students, who were required to
design a mixed-use collegiate space,
designed a student activities center
complete with student dormitories, a
theater, recycling centers, an amphitheater, retail, landscaping and dining
space.
The entry s sustainable design
features included pervious sidewalk
materials, photovoltaic glass panels
inside the cafeteria, translucent, diffuse light-transmitting walls and reflective roofing materials. The students
design also includes a naturally ventilated atrium near the lobby and a
naturally daylit cafeteria that is also
shaded to save on energy costs.
Awards will be presented at
ASHRAE s 2007 Winter Meeting Jan.
27-31 in Dallas. Winning student
groups will each have a poster presentation to display their projects at the
meeting.
The competition recognizes
outstanding student design projects,
encourages undergraduate students
to become involved in the profession,
promotes teamwork and allows students to apply their knowledge of
practical design.
