REGION V Outgoing DRC Report Conclusion Thanks for the Opportunity to be your DRC Region V is rich in individual talent, but lags behind others in Regional functions Need to develop a cadre of past and future leaders who remain involved in Regional Activities (CRC, PE Training, Regional Planning, etc)

REGION V Outgoing DRC Report Conclusion Thanks for the Opportunity to be your DRC I am NOT going to disappear ARC this year Treasurer next three years Available as a Program Speaker next year: What’s in the Advanced Energy Design Guides ? What does Green Design Mean ? (ASHRAE Green Guide and Std. 189) Are Net Zero Energy Buildings Possible and How Would One Achieve Them ?
