Puget Sound Ashrae Chapter

For an extra National Engineer’s Week celebration today we have YEA Co-Chair, Jack Roberts!

Where do you work? - ACI Mechanical & HVAC Sales

What is your involvement in ASHRAE? - Puget Sound YEA Co-Chair

What made you want to be an engineer? - I like figuring out how things work.

What advice do you have for those who want to become engineers? - Figure out what field your passion lies in and go after it!

Next up on our volunteer list is Board of Governor, Krishnan Gowri!

Where do you work? - Director of Building Performance, Intertek Building Science Solutions

What is your involvement in ASHRAE? - Board of Governor, Puget Sound Chapter; ASHRAE Fellow and ASHRAE Distinguished Award recipient

What made you want to be an engineer? - As a kid, I was fascinated with numbers and math puzzles. While at college, I was introduced to computer applications and it became my passion to translate every engineering problem to be a software program. During my graduate studies, I tried to develop software for architects and designers to comply with ASHRAE 90.1 standard. Now I am exploring applications of AI technology for thermal, moisture and energy performance of buildings, along with the traditional analysis tools for building performance assessments.

What advice do you have for those who want to become engineers? - Be curious, try to ask how and why things work. Commit yourself to finding solution to everyday engineering problems and you will discover your passion. With energy codes becoming stringent, and decarbonization, net-zero and sustainability taking the center stage of designing and operating buildings, ASHRAE engineering opportunities are boundless. Energy modeling, HVAC equipment and systems, controls technologies and energy management are a few topics you can explore. Become an ASHRAE member and get your first ASHRAE Handbook to get started.

Thanks for volunteering, Krishnan!
