President's Message
PRESIDENT: Gino Grelli
Hi Everyone,
As the ASHRAE 2025–2026 year quickly comes to a close, we are approaching our final chapter meeting. We had a great turnout at our last event, and I’m hopeful we can carry that momentum into our final gathering and finish the year strong.
For those of you who are interested, the presentations given at our last two meetings (Impact of AI on Mechanical Systems and NV Energy Business Energy Services) are available on our website, at the following link: Past Presentations
I want to sincerely thank all of our members for your support, engagement, and contributions throughout the year—whether attending meetings, participating in chapter events, or volunteering your time. Your involvement is what makes the Northern Nevada Chapter such a success.
Our final meeting will be a happy hour held on Friday, May 15th at The Depot Craft Brewery Distillery. I hope to see many of you there as we wrap up a great year together.
I’d also like to recognize Matt Brennan for organizing an outstanding clay shoot to close out our 50th anniversary year. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event—it was one of the best turnouts we’ve had.
It has truly been a privilege to serve as President of the Northern Nevada ASHRAE Chapter this year. The experience has been incredibly rewarding, and I hope I’ve made a positive impact on our chapter and its members.
Thank you all for making this such a memorable year.
Sincerely,
Gino Grelli
