We are looking forward to being of service to all of you. We met in August to establish the program for the year, and I must say that there will be many important topics presented that I am sure you will find valuable. I’d like to especially thank Jim Sarno for chairing the Program Committee, and for doing an outstanding job lining up the topics and speakers. For our October meeting, we are fortunate to have Scott Adams speak to us about safe and effective kitchen ventilation. Please see your monthly Thermogram to stay current with the upcoming topics. Our own Chris Phelan is not only on the Chapter Board of Governors, but he is also the Regional Vice Chair for Region 1 (15 Chapters in the Northeast) responsible for Research Promotion. Both our Chapter and the Region exceeded the respective fundraising goals for last year. Chris’s hard work on our Chapter golf outing, and his management expertise at the Regional level ensured significant financial support to the Society. This fundraising activity is cornerstone to a successful ASHRAE and Industry, and I’d like to pay a special thank you to Chris, and as importantly, to all of you who made contributions last year. ASHRAE has placed significant emphasis on attracting and retaining members who are in the early stages of their career, through the YEA program. I am pleased to say that we have had significant YEA participation at the chapter in the recent past and I look forward to that continuing. Michelle Contri heads up our YEA effort, and she is doing a great drop of keeping this important segment of our membership engaged in ASHRAE. I am looking forward to a great year with all of you. 2013—2014 Presidential Award of Excellence (PAOE) Summary NJ Chapter Chapter Member Student Research Chapter History CTTC PAOE Point Members Promotion Activities Promotion Operations Total - Min = 500 Min = 300 Min = 800 Min = 100 Min = 400 Min = 450 - - Par = 800 Par = 500 Par = 1,050 Par = 300 Par = 1,000 Par = 1,050 - 695 - - - - - - - September 2013 THERMOGRAM PAGE 4 Speaker Bio: Scott Adams CaptiveAire Presentation Title: Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Speaker Bio: Scott Adams is the Northern NJ Regional Manager for CaptiveAire Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Commercial Kitchen Ventilation (CKV) systems, including kitchen hoods, exhaust and makeup air fans, factory built grease duct, fire suppression, electrical controls, and related technologies. Scott has nine years of experience with Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Systems, primarily with design and sales of CKV systems as well as installation, balancing and service. Scott holds a Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University. Presentation Abstract: Commercial kitchen ventilation design must meet the minimum safety required by Code, as well as consideration for comfort, safety, energy, and cost. Energy efficient design, proper integration with the building HVAC, and improved fire protection and safety are absolutely critical for long term sustainable designs. This presentation will address safety requirements under IMC and NFPA96, strategies for reducing ventilation rates, use of Listed Hoods (UL Standard 710), Demand Control Ventilation, make up air delivery and tempering, and ASHRAE 90.1 energy considerations. Grease emissions from commercial cooking creates a maintenance challenge and elevates fire risk, which can be managed with more advanced grease filtration, smoke and odor control, and fire suppression technologies to ensure safety. The NJ Chapter will be providing Certificates of Attendance to those attendees that require them for this presentation.
