 February – IPCC Update Report:

Global Warming is Occurring and Over 90%
Certain that Human Activities are a Major
Cause.
 SUSTAINABILITY has passed the

 The discussion has now shifted from
whether climate change was caused by
human activities to the actions which we
must take to reduce climate change.

March 2007 – Goldman Sachs brokered a
$45 billion leveraged buyout of the massive
TXU Texas electric utility.
As a condition of the deal, Goldman Sachs

REGION V
 ASHRAE Will Play a MAJOR Role in
ENABLING the Coming Changes

Standard 90.1-2010 = 30% Reduction




New Construction and Major Renovations
Existing Building Energy Reduction will
begin to get attention
The Building Design Process will
continue to change
Paradigm shifts will be required
(e.g. natural ventilation)

Conclusion
REGION V
 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
