May Presidents Message

Dear ASHRAE Atlanta Chapter Members,

My name is Mark Dahir, I am an Application Consultant at Mingledorff’s, and I am your Chapter President for the year 2025 - 2026. I have been an ASHRAE member since 2007 and Atlanta Chapter member since 2008. I have served as the Refrigeration Chair for several years and have also served on the Board of Governors for the chapter.

We had a great IEQ Day in May! We had four presenters come out to ASHRAE Headquarters in May to speak on different aspects of Indoor Environmental Quality, which is the presidential theme from Society President Bill McQuade. Personally, I found it very informative. Besides the treatment of air quality that we often talk about in this industry, and there was great info provided regarding that, there are other aspects of environmental quality that are sometimes overlooked. We also did an all-day seminar event last year in May, and with the positive feedback we have received, we may be able to keep it going in the coming years.

There was also the Spring Golf Tournament in May. We played at Heritage Golf Links and were lucky to have good weather for the day! Attendance was strong once again, even if some of our scores were not, and that means we will have a hefty donation to ASHRAE Research. Thank you to everyone who played, and special thanks to all of our sponsors!

The end of June marks the end of the ASHRAE year, and I will be handing over the role of Chapter President to Matthew Perrella. I know he will do a superb job as the Chapter President for the coming year. There will be no chapter meetings over the Summer but watch your inbox for the announcement of the first Fall event in either August or September. Feel free to visit our LinkedIn page and the chapter website at www.ashraeatlanta.org, and make sure your email server allows messages from ashraeatlanta@wildapricot.org so you don’t miss anything!

You are all welcome to reach out to me directly with any feedback or questions you may have. The chapter is here to serve every one of our more than 900 members, and the participation and feedback of our membership is crucial to our success. We have some terrific topics lined up for our chapter meetings this year, but we are always open to suggestions for what you might find interesting and important. I can also help you get involved if you want to volunteer for the Atlanta chapter.

Thank you for supporting ASHRAE and the Atlanta Chapter!

Mark Dahir, PE

"Healthy Buildings: Designing for Life."

Bill McQuade, P.E., CDP, Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP, will serve as the 2025-26 Society president. In his inaugural presidential address, McQuade introduced the theme for the 2025-26 Society Year, “Healthy Buildings: Designing For Life.” The theme emphasizes the critical role of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in reducing environmental impacts to the built environment while supporting healthier, more resilient communities.

“Today, shelter is more than just a roof over one’s head,” said McQuade. “Shelter encompasses the hospitals we are born in, the homes where we find comfort, the schools where we learn, and the buildings we work in. A well-designed shelter prioritizes indoor environmental quality, ensuring good air quality, proper lighting, thermal comfort, acoustics and access to safe water, all essential for health and comfort. Providing safe, stable, and sustainable shelter is not just a basic human need, it is a fundamental pillar of societal advancement and long-term development.”
