On Friday afternoon, ASHRAE President Mich Schwedler and CIBSE Past President Kevin Kelly took time out of their busy schedules to meet and discuss matters of mutual interest to both ASHRAE and CIBSE.
Later on Friday afternoon, at a joint event organised by ASHRAE and the Institute of Refrigeration Ireland (IRI), Michael O\’Conghaile, Sirius Ltd, gave a technical talk on \”Energy Savings from Magnetic Bearing Chiller Systems\” which was followed by a Distinguished Lecture by Mick Schwedler, Trane Inc., entitled on High Performance Chilled Water Systems.
Both talks were well received by attendees drawn from both ASHRAE and the IRI.
While Mick and his wife Jenn were only with us for a short time we were able to show off some of our Irish hospitality at Temple Bar on their last night with us, before they headed to Amsterdam to attend Clima 2022. Conor Murray, our incoming President and Conor Deane, YEA Lead took them to the famous Elephant and Castle restaurant and treated them to Chicken Wings before a tour of Temple Bar, ending up in The Old Storehouse for a few pints, with some fine trad music and Irish dancing.
