Installed wireless devices and HVAC systems that communicate with one another, without an understanding of how these systems interact and what it means when there are troubled areas; these high priced energy efficient components will not deliver their intended capacities and savings. Manufacturer trainings and working side by side with skilled technicians certified to work on this equipment is one way to learn these systems; another way is to engage companies that have a reputation in providing technical training. click here to learn what one of these companies have to offer. |

Message from the President
It s hard to believe that we ve come to the end of another year. With the holidays upon us, I would like to wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
Tim Geier with Oracle was named Professional Member of the Year. Tim was chosen for all the hard work he has done creating our newsletters. Brenda Booth with Corporate Floors was named Associate Member of the Year. She has worked on the Program Committee bringing us great speakers and interesting tours. Congratulations to both of them! IFMA members learned many interesting aspects of bird control at the November 14th luncheon presentation titled NUISANCE BIRDS - How do they affect your facility given by Rodney G. Beaman, TCA of Texas Bird Services. Mark your calendars for the first luncheon presentation of the New Year on January 9th at Maggiano's. This presentation will highlight and provide details on the City of Austin Rebate Program. We hope to see you there. The Golf Tournament was a great success; many thanks to Kelly Quinney and the Golf Committee for all the hard work that goes into having this sensational event!!! Thank you to all the sponsors! You made it possible. As we come to the end of 2013 and look forward to an exciting 2014, I would like to thank everyone for all their help and support. Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year! |
