January Presidents Message

Dear ASHRAE Atlanta Chapter Members,

The ASHRAE year is off to a great start and we still have a lot of good things in store for the coming months!

My name is Mark Dahir, I am an Application Consultant at Mingledorff’s, and I am your Chapter President for the year 2025 - 2026. I have been an ASHRAE member since 2007 and Atlanta Chapter member since 2008. I have served as the Refrigeration Chair for several years and have also served on the Board of Governors for the chapter.

We had a great January chapter meeting! Tim Snyder came out to ASHRAE HQ and gave us an Introduction to Product Optimization. His presentation was very informative and gave us all some good insight into designing HVAC equipment at the manufacturer level.

Next up we have the ASHRAE Winter Meeting and AHR Expo coming January 31 – February 4. It will be held in Las Vegas, and there will be numerous technical sessions for PDHs. If you have never been to one, there is a massive expo where manufacturers can show off their latest technology, loads of fun events hosted by vendors, and it’s a great opportunity for networking. Please check out the link in the newsletter for more information. Please also mark your calendars for our upcoming Atlanta Chapter events. We’ll have a chapter meeting on February 10th at ASHRAE HQ where Bob James will present on High Efficiency Steam. After that we have the Spring Clay Shoot on Friday March 6th, then we have Hockey Night on Sunday March 15th. Be sure to watch your inbox for announcements and registration links.

This one is big enough that it deserves its own paragraph. After nine years, WE ARE BRINGING BACK THE ATLANTA ASHRAE TRADE SHOW! Save the date for April 1st. It will be held at the Cobb Galeria Centre. This will give equipment vendors a chance to showcase their HVAC products, and mechanical contractors and design engineers will be able to learn about all the newest technologies available to them. Not to mention all the professional networking. We will also have technical sessions for PDH credit. This is a fundraiser for the chapter and comes when your support is much needed, so when you get the announcement that registration is open, please be sure to reserve your booth and grab one of the sponsorship opportunities!

You are all welcome to reach out to me directly with any feedback or questions you may have. The chapter is here to serve every one of our more than 900 members, and the participation and feedback of our membership is crucial to our success. We have some terrific topics lined up for our chapter meetings this year, but we are always open to suggestions for what you might find interesting and important. I can also help you get involved if you want to volunteer for the Atlanta chapter.

Thank you for supporting ASHRAE and the Atlanta Chapter!

Mark Dahir, PE

"Healthy Buildings: Designing for Life."

Bill McQuade, P.E., CDP, Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP, will serve as the 2025-26 Society president. In his inaugural presidential address, McQuade introduced the theme for the 2025-26 Society Year, “Healthy Buildings: Designing For Life.” The theme emphasizes the critical role of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in reducing environmental impacts to the built environment while supporting healthier, more resilient communities.

“Today, shelter is more than just a roof over one’s head,” said McQuade. “Shelter encompasses the hospitals we are born in, the homes where we find comfort, the schools where we learn, and the buildings we work in. A well-designed shelter prioritizes indoor environmental quality, ensuring good air quality, proper lighting, thermal comfort, acoustics and access to safe water, all essential for health and comfort. Providing safe, stable, and sustainable shelter is not just a basic human need, it is a fundamental pillar of societal advancement and long-term development.”
