JOHN ROSS Overwhelming Success
What a great day at the Granite Curling Club. Despite the dump of snow outside we had a great turnout of 46 curlers. First off we woudl like to thank all our competitors for braving the eelments and helping to make this day a great sucess.
Another huge thanks goes out to all teh people who dropped off prize donations. This chapter is very fortunate to have such great support from the local ASHRAE boosters. Contractors, Suppliers, Engineering Firms, and Individuals supporters you made this event another success.
The ‘A’ final was a matchup between two out of town teams featuring the Sakatoon Chapter Team vs. the Region XI team. After agreat battle the team from Saskatchewan takes the honour of being the 2012 John Ross Champion.
The ‘B’ side final was between the Kehoe Equipment Ltd team ,who had been abandoned by their illustrious leader, and the tough team from Stantec. This fantastic game was decided in the final end by inches. Bringing a draw at the end of the match skip stones were required to crown the ‘B’ side. Not even the first set of skipper stones could break the stalemate as the Stantec team fianlly was able to drive the nail in the coffin.
The ‘C’ side final was a matchup between the Iron Men Bartle and Gibson team thathad palyed every draw that day and the very social Engineered Air team. All the practice must have paid off as the B&G team took care of business to capture the ‘C’ crown.

Great Year for Students of the ASHRAE NAC
Tom & I would like to thank everyone from the chapter for another fantastic Student Night. There have been many positive comments coming back from both the UofA, and NAIT students. Please remember that the Student Activities Comittee will be in contact with these students, so if you are in need of an up-and-coming HVAC’er please feel free to contact us and we will be sure to pass this message along to the students.
Annually the local chapter hands out copies of the ASHRAE Pocket Guide to our student members. This pocket sized book has a ton of information within its pages. Every year these books are distributed courtesy of the Don Holte Endowment Fund. As a legacy of his service to our chapter and the ASHRAE Society at large, this fund was set up. Wita Holte has directed our chapter to provide direct benefit to HVAC students from it, as Don was a large supporter of students in our industry.
Congratulatons to Taylor Wight as this year’s ASHRAE NAC Scholarship recipient. Taylor is a currently a student at the U of A. Keep up the hard work Taylor, and we look forward to seeing you at more ASHRAE events.
Please make these students feel welcome at upcoming events. Your kind words and friendly faces have helped make these folks feel welcome, and hopefully, will become familiar faces for years to come.
2012 John Ross Curling Spiel Just Around the Corner
The countdown is on. With 2011 drawing to a close it is time to start focusing on the upcoming John Ross Spiel.
Originally the John Ross was held by the Prarie Province Chapters to gain camraderie during the cold winter months.
The Northern Alberta Chapter does not want to see this storied past fade off into the sunset.
Teh Northern Alberta Chapter Board of Govenors has made an effort to reach out to not only the prairie chapters, but all the Region XI Chapters (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Washington State, Oregon). We have recieved several queries from various Region XI Chapters, and rumour has it a Region XI Exec Team is being assembled.
Please join us in putting on a warm welcome to the local curlers and our guest from afar and show them an Edmonton good time. Even come down for a pint and a chat, the more the merrier.
Beginners are welcome spectators are encouraged.

7th International Conference on Cold Climate – call for papers
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.
