1 Issue 1 10 September, 2011 From the desk of President Dear Members, Warm Greetings from the President As per the principle endeavour of ASHRAE, all efforts are to be made to disseminate knowledge of Heating, Refrigerating, Air Conditioning, Ventilating and other allied Sciences. In keeping with this endeavour, we at ASHRAE Pune Chapter have decided to publish a News Letter, which will not only document the various Programmes, Events, Seminars, Exhibitions, etc. which are of interest to the fraternity of ASHRAE, Ravindra S Kulkarni but will also give insights into various developments in the field and the progress of the Sciences relevant to us. ASHRAE Pune Chapter will be organising various programmes, and we shall keep you updated on all the upcoming Calendar of Events in the forthcoming issues of the News Letter. I would also welcome Contributions, from one and all, to the News Letter to make it more interesting. May I request you to come forward with your contribution in the form of Articles, News in our Field, New Developments, Interesting Projects in our Area, and interesting bits of information to make our News Letter worth reading? One of the ideas would be to start a Forum where problems from the field or experienced by us, are addressed by Experts in the field. Pune ASHRAE Chapter is fortunate in having stalwarts in our field who will guide us in the matter. I would like to thank Shripad Kulkarni and his associates in making this News Letter a reality, and wish them success in making this News Letter something to look forward to in the future.

These will be conducted by eminent Speakers from abroad. I would call on all ASHRAE Members to take advantage of this opportunity and enrol yourselves for this Event. In order to serve our Members better we have decided to keep the Registration amount to the minimum. Please take advantage of this and in the process make this Event successful.
