The ASHRAE University of Windsor Student Branch visited the Windsor Rubber Processing Plant to look at the very intriguing world of tire recycling. The group was small but they took full advantage of the opportunity top provide the small start-up recycling firm with ideas on research benefits with the University of Windsor.

“The tour provided a valuable insight to the simple yet complex operation of tire recycling. The visit, hosted by Joe Fontana, was very informative and provided a foundation to a possible future research partnership."

Introducing the UWin ASHRAE Student Branch Website

Welcome to the official University of Windsor ASHRAE Student Branch website, which will update future and existing ASHRAE members on relevant Branch activities and available opportunities. With the University's Faculty of Engineering moving into the new state-of-the-art Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation facility and the Branch continuing to add new members, starting a site was the logical next step for the ever-growing Branch.

Worldwide initiative on reducing energy consumption has created the need for a new field of engineers to improve efficiency and foster sustainability across a variety of industries and in all engineering disciplines. The engineers of the future will be expected to design smarter systems and  high performance buildings that make better use of our finite resources. By joining the more than 50 000 ASHRAE members across the globe, you are well-equipping yourself for this energy-conscious culture and making an investment in your own professional development.
