If you missed our April dinner meeting we focused on the importance of supporting research in ASHRAE. ASHRAE research improves the way HVAC&R systems work and the way in which they are applied. Our support of research allows development of technical information to create standards and guidelines that serve as the basis for testing and design practices around the world. The evening was highlighted by the recognition of a research contribution from the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute. >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.
