NEXT MEETING:
TIME: 5:00 - 5:50 p.m. Technical Session 5:45 - 6:00 p.m. Social Gathering 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. Meeting & Dinner 6:45 - 7:45 p.m. Program Presentation
LOCATION: The Edgewater Hotel, 666 Wisconsin Ave, Madison, WI 53703
TOPIC: Construction Liabilities
Risk identification and management have always been critical to success in the construction industry. Managing potential liabilities is even more critical in this difficult economic climate, in which competition is fiercer, profit margins are thinner, and owners perceive that they have greater leverage.
SPEAKER: Carl Sinderbrand, Axley Brynelson, LLP
Carl Sinderbrand, an environmental and construction lawyer with over 30 years experience. He will discuss predominant sources of liability for both design and construction activities, including breach of contract, negligence and statutory liabilities. Mr. Sinderbrand will also discuss tools for managing and allocating those risks, including important contract language, insurance, documentation, and contract administration.
Dinner Choice as follows (Please note when reserving):
RSVP: Please register by directing to Register for 3-8-10 or email to Matt Heil at Hennemen Engineering: ashrae@henneman.com. You may also call Matt at (608) 933-7000. Please RSVP by Noon, Thursday, March 4th.
TECHNICAL SESSION: Humidity and enthalpy sensor accuracy and their impact on economizer performance.
Steve Taylor will present this technical session topic, which he presented at the ASHRAE meeting in Orlando in January. Steve will include recently completed research on humidity sensor accuracy and drift over time, enthalpy sensor and switch accuracy, and the impact of the sensor error on economizer energy savings. The results are interesting and likely will result in controversial conclusions.
The cost for the meeting is $20 for members and $30 for non-members, which includes dinner and presentation. The meeting fee will be paid at the door. Please make checks payable to Madison ASHRAE Chapter.
