2012 Region XI CRC was held in Winnipeg from held May 10 -13. Overall the experience was a success. In addition to the regular business meetings I was able to attend Regional Training on Student Activities, YEA, and CTTC. There was quite a bit of new information that was passed down and I will do my best to use this in bringing you the members a better product in 2013. In case you were wondering what the benefits of your chapter sending multiple officers to the Regional Conference, much of it comes in this training and the idea sharing that happens throughout the whole weekend. There were so many great ideas that came up and I am already getting excited for next year.

One of the general concerns that the regional delegates had was our finances, we acknowledged this and we have made corrective actions and are continuing to focus on this area. Another area of concern for us appeared to be the percentage of area assigned members paying society dues but not local dues as well. This money goes to help paying the expenses our chapter incurs and if people opt out of this it makes it difficult to continue provide the level of service that we currently enjoy.

If anyone has questions or comments please feel free to contact any one of your board members.

CTTC at CRC 2012 – after a great year of programs we are already planning next years activities. From attending this training came some great ideas and opportunities to again share Distinguished Lecturers with other chapters within our region. ASHRAE has increased funding for the DL program and we are looking forward to continuing with multiple visits again next year so we can utilize these great resources and bring them to our membership.

A survey tool for matching up the wants of the membership to the programs provided was discussed. This will be coming out shortly, please provide us with some feedback so we can focus on the areas that interest our membership for next year.

Many of the chapters were quite impressed and interested with the Mechanical Extravaganza and all the associated training that came with this which was a good discussion point. Thanks to the members for making that day a success, it was noticed not just locally but regionally as well.

As with everything comes planning and we will be putting our program together early and provide the membership with another fantastic year.

ASHRAE, along with HVAC&R, architecture, interior design and building construction industry colleagues from around the world, will host the seventh International HVAC Cold Climate Conference, Nov. 12-14, 2012, in Calgary, Alberta

Cold Climate HVAC 2012 will provide key elements of a strategy by which scientists, designers, engineers, manufacturers and other decision makers in cold climate regions can achieve good indoor environmental quality (IEQ), with a minimum use of resources and energy.

The range of topics includes energy and sustainability in arctic environments; building technology for people in the arctic; indoor environment and health; challenges for remote areas; cold climate building envelopes and moisture management; HVAC system operation and maintenance; and cold climate standards, codes, regulations and requirements.

The planning committee seeks papers featuring innovations in cold climate HVAC design. This includes new technologies and applications; improved methodologies, improvements to computational models or other design tools; novel methods of management, organization or quality assurance; and novel avenues of research or revised conceptual frameworks for designers.

Submit abstracts no longer than 350 words, which summarize the objectives, approach, results and conclusions of the proposed paper, and five to seven keywords by Dec. 1, 2011. Upon acceptance, papers will be due April 1, 2012. For specific topics, to submit a conference paper abstract or for more information go to www.ashrae.org/ColdClimate. For additional information, contact meetings@ashrae.org.

The Scandinavian Federation of Heating, Ventilation and Sanitary Engineering Associations (SCANVAC) initiated the series of Cold Climate HVAC Conferences. The six previous conferences have been successfully organized in Rovaniemi, Finland in 1994; Reykjavik, Iceland in 1997; Sapporo, Japan in 2000; Trondheim, Norway in 2003; Moscow, Russia in 2006; and Sisimiut, Greenland in 2009.

The series of congresses have earlier been supported by national HVAC societies, the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition Associations (RHEVA) and ASHRAE.
