This presentation highlights the beneficial interaction that can occur between a mechanical contractor and the mechanical engineer during the preconstruction stage for a project.  This interaction occurs on projects using the design-build or design-assist procurement method where the mechanical contractor is engaged early in the project and works closely with the engineer throughout the design phase.  >more

2009 was a challenging year for all of us. I hope everyone had a chance to spend some time with their families over the holiday season. In the name of the Board of Governors of the National Capital Chapter I wish you all a healthy, safe and prosperous year in 2010. >more

You can earn 2.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) by attending our afternoon PES Program. PDH credits often fulfill state requirement for PE license renewal. They are occasionally required by employers as well. You will get an official ASHRAE certificate, type-written, if you sign up for the PES by at least the Friday prior to the meeting. Otherwise, contact a member of the Programs Committee, and a certificate can be arranged after the program. Certificates are not handed out until after the PES is concluded.

Please check with your local state license board for renewal
requirements. Some states accept several credit programs, including PDH's. Other states may not, or require different programs such as CEUs or AIA-sponsored credits. Please note that PDH's do not convert into other forms of credit.
