February Greetings!

I’d like to thank off of the exhibitors, volunteers, and attendees who participated in the 2012 ASHRAE/ASPE Product Show, which was held on January 10th.   All in all, the ASPE Phoenix Chapter earned over $4,500, which is better than we have done in years past.  I had a great time at the Product Show, visiting with friends, stopping by vendor tables, listening in on some of the technical sessions….and even winning a raffle prize.  Many things went well with this year’s event, but there is always room for improvement.  If you have not already filled out an evaluation form for the Product Show, please plan on doing it.  It is our hope to make the Product Shows a great success and something that you look forward to attending.

On to ASPE news…

Some of you may have already heard by now that ASPE is planning to stop publishing the Plumbing Systems and Design (PSD) Magazine.  It is kind of a bummer, but start looking for your favorite ASPE articles in future editions of the Plumbing Engineer Magazine.  If you are an ASPE member, you will automatically receive the Plumbing Engineer magazine for free.

Our February Chapter Meeting will be on Onsite Wastewater Treatment Technologies, which will be presented by Mr. Mark Meredith with Aquacell.  Mark your calendars.

We are still working with PIPE to put on a joint Technical Seminar on Plastic Piping, which we are trying to get penciled in pretty soon.  Stay tuned for more information.

Until next time…
