March Chapter Meeting – High Performance Chilled Water System

[Image: https://www.endocool.com/guide-to-chilled-water-systems-and-improving-efficiency/]
Chilled water systems have been used for more than 80 years. During that time, there has been a consistent effort by manufacturers and system designers to develop equipment, design strategies, and control
methods that result in the highest-performing chilled water systems possible.

This presentation discusses system configurations, design parameters, and system control techniques that can help owners and design teams reduce chilled water first costs, system operating costs, and environmental impact.

Professional

Mick has been active in the development and support of HVAC systems for Trane since 1982. As an applications engineer his areas of expertise include system optimization (in which he holds patents), chilled water and geothermal heat pump system design, and electrification of heating in hydronic systems. His primary activities are “Feed the Roots” by assisting engineers in the appropriate application of products and systems in buildings, and system education through publications, blogs, and presentations. He has provided technical systems education to tens of thousands of engineers through Trane’s Engineers Newsletter Live series, and ASHRAE webcasts. Mick has also given in-person and virtual technical seminars throughout the world and published many articles within the industry. Prior to his work with Trane, Mick received his MSME from the University of Wisconsin Solar Energy Laboratory and BSME from Northwestern University.

Mick served as 2021-2022 ASHRAE President. He is an ASHRAE Fellow, recipient of ASHRAE’s Exceptional Service, Distinguished Service, and Standards Achievement Awards, and was Chair of SSPC 90.1-2010. Mick also Chaired the Advanced Energy Design Guide
Steering Committee and was on project committees for the 50% Hospital and Office Buildings AEDGs.

Mick chaired the USGBC LEED Technical Committee, served on the LEED Steering Committee and is a past member of several USGBC technical and education groups. In addition, he authored portions of the original ASHRAE Green Building Guide, and served on technical groups for the New Buildings Institute.

Personal

Mick and Jen have three children — Ben (married to Mandi, grandson Ian), Caroline (married to Aaron, grandsons James and Sam) and Karl — who are all blessings to them. Jen and Mick are quite active at First Evangelical Lutheran Church where Jen is an organist.
