DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—The ASHRAE Falcon Chapter
and the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology
(ESMA) recently signed a memorandum of understanding
(MOU) to advance the mutual interest of their respective members and collaborate in energy codes, standards, communication
and research. ESMA is the national standards body in the UAE,
responsible for issuing standards and technical regulations that
serve quality, health, safety and the environment.
The signing took place at the 4th Symposium for Alternative
Refrigerants for High Ambient Countries, which was organized
in part by ESMA and the Falcon Chapter, along with several
other international and regional associations and organizations.
H.E. Abdulla Al Maeeni, ESMA director general, signed the
MOU with Ahmed Alaa Eldin Mohamed, regional vice chair of
Grassroots Government activities for the ASHRAE Region-AtLarge. The MOU ensures the collaboration between the chapter
and ESMA on common public affairs goals and ideologies.
During annual liaison meetings, public affairs strategies will

opportunities to be considered include:
• Joint promotion of codes and standards at the local, state and
national levels in the fields of HVAC&R equipment and systems
and building performance;
• Promotion of mutually beneficial positions during the development and passage of municipal and national legislation;
• Education of legislators on issues important to the members of
each organization; and
• Creation of a national system of measurement and calibration.

Winter Conference Tech Program to
Address Industry’s Biggest Needs
With five new tracks, 100 sessions and
400 speakers, the Technical Program for
the 2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference
capitalizes on the wide range of systems,
equipment and applications in the Chicago
area to present several relevant and timely
programs.
“With the Conference being held in the
big city of Chicago, the Technical Program
itself is going big with a focus on big
projects, the big picture and big impacts
with the intent of presenting big results
for engineers, contractors, manufacturers
and building professionals,” said Doug
Cochrane, Conference chair
The Conference will be held Jan. 24 – 28,
at the Palmer House Hilton, while the
ASHRAE co-sponsored AHR Expo will
be held Jan. 26 – 28 at McCormick Place.
Complete Conference information and registration can be found at www.ashrae.org/
chicago, and information about AHR Expo

is available at www.ahrexpo.com.
The Technical Program begins Sunday,
Jan. 25, with special hour-long interactive sessions with audience participation,
followed by a networking coffee break. It
concludes Wednesday, Jan. 28.
The Technical Program offers more
than 200 Professional Development Hours
(PDHs), as well as Continuing Education
Units (CEUs), which can be applied toward
a Professional Engineering (P.E.) license.
The Conference features papers and
programs for eight tracks, which address
trends in the industry and also are relevant
to the design community in the area.
The tracks are:
• Systems and Equipment: The proper
selection of HVAC&R for a job is critical. This track covers considerations for a
proper functioning system.
• Fundamentals and Applications: Basic
HVAC&R principles are key in any project.

New requirements to further reduce
energy and environmental impacts of buildings are contained in the 2014 version of
the green building standard from ASHRAE,
the U.S. Green Building Council and the
Illuminating Engineering Society.
ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard
189.1-2014, Standard for the Design of
High-Performance, Green Buildings Except
Low-Rise Residential Buildings, addresses
the areas of site sustainability; water-use efficiency; energy efficiency; indoor environmental quality; and the building’s impact on
the atmosphere, materials and resources.
The 2014 standard incorporates 67 addenda, reflecting changes made through the
public review process since the standard
was last published in 2011. Appendix H
gives brief descriptions and approval dates
of the addenda included in this new edition.
“The new standard updates all of its
sections to reflect the latest information
available to the committee,” said Andrew
Persily, chair of the Standard 189.1 committee. “Compliance with these updated
provisions will help further reduce energy
and environmental impacts through high
performance building design, construction and operation while providing indoor
environments that support the activities of
building occupants.”
Major changes in the 2014 edition
include:
• Energy: Significant updates are included to reflect the publication of Standard
90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings
Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings,
including revised building envelope provisions. Fenestration orientation requirements
were updated based on new research,
as well as changes and updates made to
equipment efficiency tables, Energy Star
references and continuous air-barrier requirements.
• Energy Performance, Carbon Dioxide
Emissions, and Renewables: Changes and
clarifications are included to reflect changes
to Standard 90.1. Carbon dioxide emission
factors for different energy sources are
updated.
• Indoor Environmental Quality: Lighting quality is added to the scope of this
section, and requirements are added for
lighting controls in specific space types.
Requirements for air sealing of filtration
and air-cleaning equipment are clarified,
and new requirements for preoccupancy
ventilation and building envelope moisture
management are added.
• Site Sustainability: All site requirements are now mandatory, with prescriptive and performance options moved to the
mandatory requirements. Requirements for
stormwater management are enhanced, and
new requirements added for bicycle parking
and for preferred parking for low-emission,
hybrid and electric vehicles. New requireSee Standard 189.1-2014, Page 2

2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference
ASHRAE Drives Home Residential Guidance
Guidance to help ensure that homes
are energy efficient and have good indoor
environmental quality will be featured in
several Technical Program sessions at the
2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference, to be
held Jan. 24 – 28 in Chicago.
“More time and energy is spent in
residential environments than any other
environment,” said Max Sherman, who
chaired a Presidential Ad Hoc Committee
on the Residential Construction Market that
developed a report titled “ASHRAE and the
Residential Construction Market.”
“The ASHRAE Board of Directors
recently acknowledged that by creating
a Residential Committee and by making
residential an initiative in the Society’s
newly adopted Strategic Plan. Similarly
ASHRAE’s mission of providing technical

of residential programs available for the
professional. This residential guidance is
not just for the consulting engineer but is
intended for broader residential stakeholders as well.”
Sherman noted that for the last several
generations ASHRAE’s emphasis has shifted more to commercial and institutional
occupancies and away from where people
spend most of their time.
In the last year, given the amount of energy used in residential buildings and issues
related to the indoor environmental quality,
ASHRAE took a look at how it can contribute most effectively to the improvement of
the performance of residential buildings. The
“ASHRAE and the Residential Construction
Market” report contains a series of recommendations to the Board of Directors.

From Cherry Garcia to Sea Salt Caramel, Americans love their ice cream.
Nearly 9 percent of cow’s milk produced
in the United States goes toward making
ice cream, and America is the number one
consumer worldwide. What better way to
illustrate the importance of refrigeration
technology, than to explore the process of
making this country’s favorite frozen treat?
Doug Reindl and Dan Dettmers’ workshop, I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream
for Refrigeration Basics of Ice Cream, is
part of the Technical Program at the 2015
ASHRAE Winter Conference to be held
Jan. 24 – 28 at the Palmer House Hilton.
The session explores the process of
making ice cream, leads attendees through
the cooling load calculations and finishes
up with a chance to participate in the ice
cream making process.
One catch, however. Attendees have to
correctly calculate the cooling load before
they can taste the final product, which will
be made cryogenically. The workshop starts
at 8 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 25.
“We want to reach a younger audience
to interest them in the ‘R’ in ASHRAE—
refrigeration,” said Reindl on the session.
“We thought this would be an out-of-thebox way to show them about processes, the
science, taste and texture of food, home
refrigeration.”
His presentation will focus on the methods and cooling loads encountered in the ice
cream industry.
Session chair Dan Dettmers notes
that while ice cream is one of the simple
pleasures of life, it also is one of the most
complex frozen products available today.
“Unlike ice, which freezes in a crystalline structure, ice cream is an amorphous
solid similar to glass,” he explained. “Its
structure is primarily air held in a complex
lattice of sugars and fats.”
Other refrigeration sessions include:
• Energy Use Analysis in Retail and Small/
Medium Office Applications, Sunday, Jan.
25.

ASHRAE Cosponsors 2015 AHR Expo
AHR Expo Focuses on ‘What’s New’ in Industry

WDF Endorses AHR Expo
AHR Expo Management has announced that the HVACR Workforce
Development Foundation has become
the newest endorsing association for
the 2015 show.
Representing a unified undertaking to
address the workforce needs facing the
HVAC&R industry in the near future,
the HVACR Workforce Development
Foundation is committed to:
• raise awareness of the HVAC&R
industry and the importance it plays in
daily life;
• create interest in the HVAC&R industry as an attractive and profitable career
choice; and
• enhance the quality and quantity of
available workforce for the HVAC&R
industry.
“We are excited about partnering
with AHR Expo to make thousands of
HVAC&R professionals more aware
of the many opportunities available
in the HVAC&R industry,” said Kari
M. Arfstrom, executive director of the
Foundation. “AHR Expo allows us to
reach all of our target audiences in one
place—from the manufacturers and suppliers to the people that spec and install
HVAC systems.”
The HVACR Workforce Development Foundation also assists students
in finding the appropriate schools and in
sourcing scholarships through its many
sustaining members.

According to a post-show survey of
several thousand industry professionals
who attended the 2014 AHR Expo, 94%
said they came to see “what’s new” in the
marketplace. An additional 91% said attending the Show was an important way to
look for new suppliers.
According to Clay Stevens, president of
International Exposition Company, which
produces and manages the AHR Expo, the
more than 40,000 HVACR professionals expected to attend the 2015 event in Chicago,
January 26 – 28, will not be disappointed.
Stevens said that based on a joint
ASHRAE and AHR Expo survey of more
than 2,000 exhibitors in the 2014 Show,
more than two-thirds said that they introduced new products at the New York Show.
However, early indications are that the number of new product introductions and new
solutions may be even higher in Chicago.
He cited the following facts:
• 85% of exhibitors submitting products
for the 2015 Product Preview said they will
be showing “new” or “upgraded” products.
• There are 112 first-time exhibitors,
nearly half from companies outside the
U.S. This means new products never before
seen in the U.S. will be showcased for the
first time.
• There will be more than 60 presentations from dozens of exhibitors at the New
Product & Technology Theaters. This is up
from 54 presentations in 2014.
• Several of the more than 100 AHR

Attendees at the 2014 AHR Expo get “hands-on” with an exhibited product.
Expo and ASHRAE educational sessions
will deal with new product and/or technology solutions.
• The 2015 AHR Expo Innovation
Awards presentation will showcase the
most innovative products available in the
HVACR Industry.
• The 2015 Show is on track for another
record-breaking event, which means more
exhibiting companies and more new products.
“As the world’s largest HVACR exposition, there are always thousands of
new product introductions and innovative

solutions debuting at AHR Expo,” Stevens
added. “However, it appears that the upcoming Chicago Show may set a new standard
for product introductions.
AHR Expo is endorsed by 34 of the
leading HVACR industry associations and
is cosponsored by ASHRAE and the AirConditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). The Heating, Refrigeration
and Air-Conditioning Institute of Canada
(HRAI) is a honorary sponsor.

Existing Building Commissioning
Focus of Next ASHRAE Webcast

Cecile and Nance Lovvorn celebrated
their anniversary at ASHRAE’s Annual
Conference in Seattle.

ASHRAE Part of Fellow’s
50th Wedding Anniversary
Not many couples look at a Society
Conference as a perfect way to celebrate
their wedding anniversary. But for longtime member Nance Lovvorn and his wife,
no celebration would be complete without
ASHRAE.
“Cecile and I have been consumed this
summer preparing for and celebrating our
50th anniversary,” he said. “Cecile came up
with the idea that we should not do anything
extravagant or make a big deal with our
children. Instead we should make a list of
‘50 Fun Things’ to do this summer.”
So Lovvorn, Fellow/Life Member, and
his wife, kicked off their 50th anniversary
celebration with a trip to the 2014 Annual
Conference in Seattle. The couple resides
in Birmingham, Ala., where Lovvorn is a
member of the Birmingham Chapter.
Prior to the Annual Conference, the
couple spent several days on the San Juan
Islands with their ASHRAE friends, Jerry
Groff, ASHRAE Fellow, Life Member,
member of the Central New York Chapter,
and his wife Beth.
The Conference also was special because Lovvorn, a former director-at-large
on the Board of Directors was recognized
for his longtime service with an Exceptional
Service Award.
The Lovvorns were married at 3 p.m. on
Aug. 30, 1964, so another fun thing on the
list was attendance at a football game between Auburn University and the Arkansas
Razorbacks that took place at 3 p.m., Aug.
30. There they were recognized on the field
as being “loyal fans of the game.”
Lovvorn said the couple completed their
list on Sept. 1.

ASHRAE’s upcoming webcast, titled
“New Tomorrows for Today’s Buildings:
Existing Building Commissioning,” will
broadcast live on April 23, 2015, from 1 – 4
p.m. EDT.
The webcast is sponsored by the Chapter
Technology Transfer Committee.
“The presenters will distinguish between
new building commissioning, existing
building commissioning and retro-commissioning,” said Nathan Hart, chair of
the CTTC Webcast Ad Hoc Committee.
“Viewers will learn how to manage the
commissioning process to minimize the
impact on building functions and occupants,
and how to integrate elements of existing
building commissioning into the operation
and maintenance staff ’s daily activities.
The focus will be on maximizing energy
efficiency and return on investment.”
The webcast presenters are:
Bob Baker, Fellow ASHRAE, OPMP,
managing director, BBJ Consulting, Riverview, Fla;
Jim Vallort, Fellow ASHRAE, practice
leader, Environmental Systems Design Inc.,
Chicago; and
Ron Wilkinson, P.E., CPMP, commissioning authority, Glumac, Seattle.

Presenters are (left to right) Jim Vallort, Bob Baker and Ron Wilkinson.
Online registration for the webcast begins on March 23, 2015. For more information on the webcast program, sponsorship
opportunities, continuing education credits

First bEQ Rating Awarded in Asia
ASHRAE recently awarded its first
building energy quotient (bEQ) rating in
Asia.
The building, KPMG Center located
in Makati City in Manila, Philippines, is a
mixed-use commercial building with office
spaces and foot court/service. It earned an
In Operation rating of “C,” or “average.”
The building has a measured site energy
use intensity (EUI) of 59.4 kBtu/square
foot per year; and measured source EUI of
186.6 kBtu/square foot per year.
“On behalf of the building owner, we
are pleased to achieve this milestone in the
bEQ program,” Ross Montgomery, P.E.,
BEAP, who submitted the rating, said. “This
speaks to the interest in improving building
and system performance around the globe.”
Montgomery, who is chair of the bEQ
committee, also notes that the Philippines
Green Building Initiative has embraced the
bEQ program to be used as credit toward
the energy requirements of its green building rating.

KPMG Center in Manila.
Other countries in which buildings have
earned ratings under the program include
the United States, Mexico, Canada and
Bermuda.

So far, 13 buildings have
earned a rating, according
to Montgomery.
The bEQ program, a
consistent, comprehensive
and accurate method of rating and labeling buildings
bEQ label.
based on energy use, offers
two rating labels: an As Designed label that
rates the building’s expected energy use
under standardized conditions—independent of some of the building’s occupancy
and usage variables—and an In Operation
label that rates the building’s actual metered
energy use as influenced by the building’s
occupancy, structure and use.
bEQ focuses resources to:
• Determine the building’s potential
energy efficiency with an As Designed
evaluation;

BEAP Keeping PACE
With State Programs
What does Michigan have in common
with Connecticut and Texas? White clam
pizza? Longhorn cattle?
If you’re in the building energy assessment business, you may know that Michigan has joined Connecticut and Texas as
states with property assessed clean energy
(PACE) programs that recognize ASHRAE’s
Building Energy Assessment Professional
(BEAP) certification as an acceptable qualification for Energy Auditors of commercial
buildings.
These states join a growing list of local,
state and federal bodies (visit www.ashrae.
org/government-recognition) that require,
recognize or prefer ASHRAE certifications
for various projects and RFPs.
According to Todd Parker, manager of
contractor services for Michigan Saves, “We
are happy to include the ASHRAE certification as an acceptable credential. Since we
require the audits be done to the ASHRAE
Level 2 or Level 3 standard, it is only logical
that we accept this certification.”
Michigan Saves (http://michigansaves.
org) manages contractor registration for
Lean & Green Michigan’s PACE program
(www.leanandgreenmi.com).

Region XII Creates New Website
ASHRAE Region XII has launched
a new website, enabling the public to
learn more about the region, ASHRAE
membership, relevant current events
in the HVAC&R industry and to view
chapter photos and newsletters. The
site can be viewed at http://region12.
ashraeregions.org/.
“It is awesome!” agreed a few commenters who were given a preliminary
look.
One of the most unique features of
the site is that it is trilingual (English,
Spanish and Portuguese) to reflect
the languages spoken at the chapters
and sections of Region XII. Also, the
page has links to chapter webpages,
ASHRAE resources and membership

The building information model (BIM)
is rapidly becoming the de-facto basis
of software applications used to model
the built environment and the underlying
engineering and constructional systems.
The BIM provides a common set of data
that enables the confident use of multiple
software tools that share a single set of
linked building information. This improves
confidence in interoperability of engineering tools and this will speed their adoption by the whole community of building
professionals. 1468-RP, Development of
a Reference Building Information Model
(BIM) for Thermal Model Compliance
Testing, produced reference models and
guidelines for developing software to automate thermal model creation from a BIM
into a Building Energy Simulation (BES)
for energy simulations. The final report
describes the methods of the research
and presents highlights of the guidelines.
Two technical papers on this project have
been submitted for future publication in
ASHRAE Transactions. 1468-RP, Development of a Reference Building Information Model (BIM) for Thermal Model
Compliance Testing, was sponsored by TC
1.5, Computer Applications. The principal
investigator was Mark Clayton with Texas
A&M University.
1476
The use of water as a refrigerant (R718)

Results of ASHRAE Research Available
in refrigeration applications can show
promise as water can have advantages over
traditional refrigerants. However, some
of the difficulties that arise during manufacturing low-cost and high-performance
compressor impellers to compress this
natural refrigerant need to be addressed.
1476-RP, Woven Compressor Enabling
Economic and Scalable R718 Chillers,
studied the feasibility of winding/weaving light-weight, high-strength composite
turbo-impellers with integrated motor
and bearings on a commercially available
winding machine. This could provide
a scalable and economical multi-stage
counter-rotating axial compressor which
uses water as the refrigerant. The final
report details the current state of art and
introduces the design and various weaving
patterns for the wound composite impeller along with the manufacturing set up
and the fabrication process. Results from
a small scale compressor test loop are
included as well. A technical paper was
submitted for publication in a future edition of the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research
Journal. 1476-RP, Woven Compressor

ASHRAE completed a research project
to measure pressure loss coefficients for
8 converging-concentric, 15 convergingeccentric, 8 diverging-concentric, and 15
diverging-eccentric flat oval transition
fittings. Tests were performed in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 120-2008,
Method of Testing to Determine Flow
Resistance of HVAC Ducts and Fittings.

Loss coefficient data and the regression
equations will be added to the next version
of the ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database.
A technical paper on this project has
been submitted for future publication in
ASHRAE Transactions. 1606-RP, Laboratory Testing of Flat Oval Transitions to Determine Loss Coefficient, was sponsored
by TC 5.2, Duct Design. The principal
investigator was Yuanhui Zhang with the
University of Illinois.
1478
Despite the importance of building
airtightness and its impact on IAQ, moisture, comfort, and energy use, there is
little actual airtightness performance data
available for mid-and high-rise buildings
in the literature. 1478-RP, Measuring AirTightness of Mid- and High-Rise Non-Residential Buildings, measured airtightness
of 16 non-residential buildings between
4 and 14 stories tall in zones 2-7 of the
IECC Climate Zone Map. A subset of these
buildings meets the LEED requirements.
Researchers created an airtightness testing
protocol based on ASTM E779 and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Protocol,
specifically for mid-rise commercial buildings, that can be used for other studies.
The final report compares and details the
results, examines and characterizes various
leakages. Data is presented for inclusion
in the ASHRAE Handbook. A technical
paper on this project was published in
Buildings XII Conference Proceedings
(D-BldConf13-54) and is now available.
1478-RP, Measuring Air-Tightness of Midand High-Rise Non-Residential Buildings,
was sponsored by TC 4.3 Ventilation Requirements and Infiltration. The principal

The following is a summary of Level 1 investments, stated at fair value,
held at June 30:

3. FAIR VALUE OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchy for
inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable
inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the
most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 within the hierarchy states that valuations are based on unadjusted quoted market prices
for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. As of June 30, 2014 and
2013, the only assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition are marketable
securities. Such marketable securities are classified within Level 1 of the
valuation hierarchy.

2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Position net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $219,874 and
$194,694 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

M. Subsequent events
Subsequent events have been evaluated by management through September 26, 2014, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

L. Presentation
Certain 2013 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014
presentation.

K. Exposition income
Royalties received from the sale of exhibitors’ space are recognized as
income in the year the exposition is held.

J. Special projects revenue
Grants received for special research projects are recognized as revenue
during the years the project costs are incurred. Amounts received prior to
incurring the costs are deferred.

I. Contributions
Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support depending on the existence or nature
of any donor restrictions. Contributions that are required to be reported as
temporarily restricted support are reclassified to unrestricted net assets upon
expiration of the donor restrictions.

H. Membership dues
Dues are recognized as revenue over the membership period to which
they apply. Amounts received prior to the start of a membership year are
deferred and recognized over the appropriate membership period.

G. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years for office equipment,
furniture, fixtures, computer equipment and software; twenty-five to forty years
for the building and up to twenty years for building improvements. Additions
and replacements are charged to the property and equipment accounts, while
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

F. Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of publications and logo merchandise and is
stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory is recorded
on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position net of a reserve of
$44,607 and $43,483 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

E. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable, net of allowances for uncollectible accounts, are
recorded at the amount of cash estimated as realizable. Uncollectible accounts receivable balances are charged against bad debt expense when
that determination is made. Accounts receivable balances are considered
delinquent based upon individual contractual terms.

D. Marketable securities
Investments consist of publicly traded securities and are stated at fair
value based on quoted market values.

C. Cash and cash equivalents
The Society maintains cash deposits at several financial institutions in
excess of Federally-insured limits. Management believes this risk is mitigated due to the financial viability of the institutions.
All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity
of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents also include investments in money market funds totaling $8,992 and
$37,879 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

B. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. General
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers,
Inc. and Affiliates (collectively, the “Society”) and A.S.H.R.A.E. Research Canada are international membership organizations established for the purpose of
advancing the arts and sciences of heating, refrigeration, air-conditioning and
ventilation and the allied arts and sciences for the benefit of the general public.
A.S.H.R.A.E. Research Canada was formed by the Society for the benefit of
its Canadian members and contributors. The A.S.H.R.A.E. Foundation (the
“Foundation”) was organized for the support and benefit of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. as a
tax-exempt foundation. Due to these interrelationships, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the operations of all three organizations. The financial statements do not include the operations of chapters.

9. NET ASSET RESTRICTIONS
Permanently restricted net assets represent contributions to the
Foundation restricted by donor stipulations to fund specific scholarships, honors, awards and research. The principal of these contributions
must be maintained permanently, but the income earned on the assets
may be used to fund the awards made by the Foundation (see Note
10). Temporarily restricted net assets represent investment income restricted by the donor and a $50,000 pledge receivable that is time and
purpose restricted. Net assets released from restriction on the con-

8. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN AND PENSION EXPENSE
The Society sponsors a savings and investment plan for all eligible employees who have completed at least one year of service. The
Society contributes three percent of the compensation of each eligible
employee. In addition, all participating employees may invest any percent of their base salary in the plan up to the federal limit, with the
Society contributing an additional matching contribution of 100% to
125% of the employee’s investment, not to exceed six percent of the
employee’s base salary. The Society’s additional contribution percentage is based on the employee’s length of service and the date the
employee entered into the plan.
For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Society
contributed $620,463 and $576,990, respectively, to the plan, which
is included in payroll taxes, benefits and personnel expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Activities and Net Assets. The
plan is funded as the expense is accrued. The Internal Revenue Service
has determined that the plan is exempt from Federal income taxes.

7. COMMITMENTS
The research fund of the Society provides funds for various cooperative research projects conducted by colleges and universities and
certain corporations. Grants of $2,055,781 committed for the year ended June 30, 2014 and $2,793,246 committed for years thereafter have
been approved by the Board of Directors. Grants are considered to be
exchange transactions and are expensed as services are provided.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Society
is required to recognize the funded status of its retiree insurance reimbursement program. The plan covers retiring employees who are at
least age 55 and have at least ten years of continuous service to the
Society. The benefit available under the plan is based on the number
of years of continuous service to the Society.
Reconciliations of the plan’s funded status and amounts recognized in the Society’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at
June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the projected funded status at June 30,

4. SPLIT-INTEREST AGREEMENTS
The Foundation entered into gift annuity agreements whereby the
Foundation received securities valued at $1,321,840. In consideration
for the gifts, quarterly annuity payments of approximately $22,500 will
be paid to the donors for the duration of the donors’ and/or spouses’
lives. A contribution was recorded to the extent the fair value of the
donated securities exceeded the present value of the annuity payable
at the date contributed.
A payable has been recorded based on the estimated present
value of the annuity payments. The present value was calculated using discount rates ranging from 6.3% to 8.2% and a term based on
the actuarial joint annuity expected life. The original expected life of
several donors was set to expire in 2014. During the year ended June
30, 2014, the annuities payable were adjusted to reflect the current
estimated remaining lives of the donors. The change in this valuation
is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Activities and Net Assets as change in value of split-interest agreements. Payments to the
donors reduce the annuity payable and discount recorded. The longterm balance of the annuities payable at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was
$271,005 and $21,704, respectively.

Investments are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk and market
risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is
possible that market volatility in the near term could affect the amounts
reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to year end a decision was made to merge Life Members Club – ASHRAE, an affiliated organization with approximately
$123,000 of net assets, into the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.

12. CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Society is subject to claims by various parties. The Society’s insurance provider did not renew the Antitrust Policy
for the year ending June 30, 2014. The Society has decided to selfinsure until a new policy can be obtained. In management’s opinion,
the outcome of outstanding claims will not have a material impact on
its financial position.

11. TAXES
The Society and the Foundation are exempt from Federal income
taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as public
charitable/educational organizations, except that they are subject to
Federal and state income taxes on net unrelated business income. The
Society and the Foundation had no tax liability for the years ended
June 30, 2014 and 2013.
The Society has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$1,469,000 which could result in a tax benefit of up to $587,000. This
potential benefit has been fully offset by a valuation reserve. The loss
carryforwards will expire between 2020 and 2025.
In management’s opinion, the Society and Foundation have not
taken any uncertain tax positions that could result in a material income tax liability. The Society and Foundation tax returns are subject
to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for a threeyear period after the filing date. In addition, for Form 990-T, tax years
generating net operating losses are subject to IRS examination for
a period up to three years from the year in which the net operating loss is
utilized to offset taxable income. As a result, the Society’s Form 990-T tax
returns subject to examination include the years 2000 through 2005 and
2010 through 2013. Form 990 informational returns for the Society and
Foundation are open for the years 2010 through 2013.
A.S.H.R.A.E. Research Canada is exempt from Canadian income
taxes under Section 149 of the Canadian tax code.

The Society has adopted investment and spending policies that attempt to preserve endowment assets by using funding only when the Society determines it is prudent, such as when operating cash is insufficient.
Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Directors, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce
results that exceed common benchmarks for a balanced portfolio, while
assuming a moderate level of risk.
To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Society relies on
a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through
both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Society targets a diversified asset allocation
that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve
its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.

(2) The purposes of the Society and the donor-restricted endowment fund;
(3) General economic conditions;
(4) The possible effect of inflation and deflation;
(5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments;
(6) Other resources of the Society; and,
(7) The investment policies of the Society.

10. ENDOWMENT
The Society’s endowment consists of eight individual funds established for a variety of purposes. Endowment assets include those assets
of donor-restricted funds that the Society must hold in perpetuity for a donor-specified purpose. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified
and reported based on the existence of donor-imposed restrictions.
The Board of Directors of the Society has interpreted the Georgia Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006
(“UPMIFA”) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original
gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent
explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Society classifies the original value of gifts donated to the
permanent endowment, the original value of subsequent gifts to the
permanent endowment and accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor
gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund as permanently restricted net assets. The Board of Directors will appropriate
funds from the endowment funds based on specific needs and budgeting requirements from year to year. In accordance with UPMIFA, the
Society considers the following factors in making a determination to
appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:

solidated statements of activities and net assets represent investment

services, were significantly reduced. ASHRAE’s
overall fiscal position remains strong. Excellent
investment results of our reserve funds occurred
again due to solid management by our fund
managers.
Your Finance Committee spent a good deal of
time and effort during 2013–2014 working with
Planning Committee in developing a business plan
to allow budget allocation for implementation of
the Strategic Plan. These funds are reflected in the
budget for next year and beyond.
Looking ahead, the Board of Directors has
passed a budget for 2014–2015 with a projected
surplus of $673,600. This is the beginning of our
next three year budgetary cycle, and we anticipate
being able to not only maintain but to expand our
products and services for members thanks to a
healthy financial position. The implementation of
our new strategic plan will add to revenues as it
proceeds.

ASHRAE
Source of Funds

Being in the third
year of our expected
business cycle and with
the Winter and Annual
Conferences taking place
in New York and Seattle
(both expensive cities),
ASHRAE began the year
with a projected General
Fund deficit. General fund
revenues were budgeted
at $21,905,000 and expenses at $22,240,000
giving a projected deficit of $335,000. As the
financial report shows, we worked diligently
to overcome that projected loss. We achieved
that goal with our year end statements showing
revenues of $21,710,200 and expenses of
21,654,800 leaving a surplus of $55,400.
This increase in operating results may be
attributed to a number of positive and negative
factors. With the exception of meetings and
education, revenues were lower than anticipated.
However, due to lower requirements for serving
these reduced needs, items such as publishing
and promotion, special projects and outside

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. and Affiliates as of
June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in their
net assets and their cash flows for the years then
ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to
obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the Society’s preparation
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Society’s internal control. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.

Management’s Responsibility for the
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States
of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the American Society
of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. and Affiliates (collectively, the
“Society”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2014 and
2013, and the related consolidated statements of
activities and net assets and cash flows for the
years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements.

Greetings from Chicago!

I would like to cordially invite you to attend the 2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference in Chicago. Are
you concerned about the weather in The Windy City? Don’t be. We have been working hard on a
weather machine to make Chicago more like Palm Beach in January, so you have that to look forward
to. With Chicago Bears football struggling, our team of volunteers has had ample time to focus on
organizing a tremendous Conference.
We kick off the Conference with the Welcome Party at the Chicago Cultural Center. The former
Chicago Public Library is a magnificent architectural landmark dedicated to celebrating the diversity
of Chicago. On this Saturday night, we’ll be celebrating the diversity of ASHRAE. Come mingle, eat,
enjoy a drink and debate 90.1, all under the world’s largest Tiffany stained-glass dome.
Recognizing that successful welcome parties have required security to forcibly remove ASHRAE
members that couldn’t stop the discussion on fan curves and refrigeration cycles when the event was
over, this year’s Host Chapter has organized an after party immediately following to help finish that
discussion. The event will be held at the Emerald Loop Bar & Grill. The event is not directly associated
with the Conference so please visit our local Host Chapter website www.ashraechicago2015.com for
registration details.
In the spirit of continuous maintenance standards, our Members Night Out theme continues on
our Casino Night-2012 theme, but with addenda. Tuesday night is Speak Easy Night Out-2015, at the
Palmer House Hilton. Bring your prohibition era flair as the Rat Pack will be in the house and the
casino will open after dinner.
Complimenting a stellar technical program, we have four great technical tours organized.
The Walgreens net zero energy store tour goes behind the scenes of the design, construction and
on-going operation of the building.
The Half Acre Beer Company tour provides a glimpse of the new system being built at the rapidly
expanding Half Acre Beer Company.
Tuesday we move to some big buildings. Motorola Mobility is opening the doors of its new, 600,000
square foot global corporate headquarters in a building so big it has its own zip code, the Merchandise
Mart. The tour highlights how a historic building was used to meet the high-tech requirements of
Motorola Mobility.
McCormick Place is one of the largest convention campuses in the world. This tour takes you
behind the scenes of its central plant.
First time to Chicago? Several general tours have been organized where you can learn about our
fair city.
Through the ASHRAE Sustainable Footprint Project, the chapter plans to expand its mission to
foster stronger communities through fundamental education and building a foundation for sustainable
business and professional growth.
One of the biggest issues facing the industry is the lack of professionals coming into the science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. With a theme Sustaining Community, the
project is more about creating an environment than a project. Our volunteers are working with local
community colleges on STEM oriented education with an emphasis on HVAC&R and renewable energy. The project will lay the foundation for investment in communities by building a technically educated workforce and steer talented young professionals to higher education and careers in our profession.
We plan to use the seed funding to assist in the installation of a new solar photovoltaic installation
at Pembroke Community School in conjunction with Kankakee Community Colleges’ Solar-Photovoltaic Technology program. To learn more about this project or donate please visit our Host Chapter
website at www.ashraechicago2015.com.
We can’t wait to see you in Chicago!

by Society leadership.
Keynote speaker is Aron Ralston, adventurer
and subject of the film 127 Houre.Growing up
in Ohio and Indiana before moving to Colorado
with his family in 1987, Ralston had little exposure to the wild outdoors. But by the time he
hiked into a remote area of Utah’s canyon country in April 2003, he was an experienced outdoorsman out for a walk in the park. Seven miles
into the canyon that day, Ralston accidentally
dislodged a boulder that crushed and pinned his
right hand. After six days of entrapment alone, he
freed himself with a cheap multi-tool knife and
hiked to a miraculous rescue.
