Happy New Year to all of our ASHRAE Research Investors! 

It is through financial leadership and support like yours that this program remains a successful and viable endeavor for its members, the public, and the HVAC&R industry.  Whether you specialize in IAQ, sustainable building, tools and applications or refrigeration, ASHRAE has research projects focused on your field and the specific topics that affect your business most.   

I am also proud to announce that our chapter is on track to meet or exceed all of our contribution goals for this year!  As of the end of December our committed investors have already contributed over $9,400 dollars and are on our way to keeping our chapter firmly at the top of our region in ASHRAE Research Contributions.  It has been a tradition over the years for our Chapter to set the example for member contributions and if we stay on course it looks like it could be another record breaking year!

 We would like to take this opportunity to recognize all of the Central Florida Chapter contributors who have donated at or above the Honor Roll investment level for this year’s campaign.  Please take a moment to review the below names and take a moment to thank all of those who so generously donated to the continued advancement of our industry.
