Get a Piece of the PIE at the ASHRAE Winter Meeting Technical Program in NYC

ATLANTA – For the first time, ASHRAE is offering New York professional development hour credit through the Practicing Institute of Engineering (PIE) at the 2008 ASHRAE Winter Meeting in New York City.

Meeting attendees can earn 1.5 to 2 PDHs in each of 27 sessions being certified through PIE.

One session is available in nearly every technical program time slow scheduled Jan. 20-23 at the Hilton New York or Javits Convention Center. Included sessions span a range of topics such as sustainability, commissioning, mold, exergy and energy recovery. The overall ASHRAE technical program at the meeting focuses on net-zero-energy design in buildings.

“With the ASHRAE meeting registration fee equivalent to what it would cost to earn three to five PDHs, these sessions provide a great value to engineers seeking PDHs for New York state licensing requirements,” says Mo Hosni, chair of the ASHRAE Program Committee.

The following sessions have been approved for New York PDHs:
Seminar 5: Regulations About Re-Circulating Air from Air Cleaning Devices (Dust Collectors)
Seminar 7: Ventilation of Tall Sustainable Buildings
Seminar 11: Improving System EER with Energy Recovery Technology
Seminar 13: Sustainability of Innovative Absorption/Sorption Systems
