The Chapter Meetings continued at the Cathay House through this Chapter year.
The meeting minutes are missing for this year but the newsletters are intact and afford the following:
September's meeting topic was "Toward '0' Energy in Non-Residential Buildings", with speaker Bob Tamblyn who was then an active member and director of well over a dozen energy, research, engineering and technical associations, and a Designated Energy Management Specialist.
Don Coggan, President Coggan Douserv Associates, spoke on "Building Automation Systems" at the October meeting. He described his method of assessing the "best value" an owner can obtain for automation systems.
The topic for November's meeting was University of Ottawa's "Integrated Energy Cascading Project" with speaker Alex Juchymenko of Cogeneration Associates, Toronto. The project was supported by the Ontario Ministry of Energy due to its innovative combination of cogeneration, medium temperature heat pumping and steam recompression. The utility generation project created thermal energy at half the cost of a traditionally fired natural gas boiler with cheaper electrical energy as well.
