2008 Chapter Awards Presentation

Awards Presenter: Tom O'Neill

Constellation Building Systems

The integration of geothermal heat pumps into the environmental systems serving the historic Hampton Mansion earned the National Park Service the Baltimore Chapter’s 2008 Energy Project of the Year.  This meeting is going to feature the presentation of the Chapter Energy Project of the Year and Energy Manager of the Year Awards.

Last May, the Baltimore Chapter membership had an opportunity to tour the Hampton Mansion and look at  the geothermal HVAC and humidity control systems installed throughout the structure.  This year we are going to honor the historic significance of the Hampton Mansion by providing NPS guided tours of mansion. The interior is completed and the building is completely furnished with the historical furnishings and pieces of artwork. The mansion has been open to the public since the end of November 2007. The National Park Service has agreed to provide the AEE members with guided tours of the mansion complete with a historical narrative as we view the various rooms and artifacts.  It is beautiful inside and we encourage early registration because registration is going to be limited so as to not have too many people on the tours.   

Please join us for a relaxing meeting at the beautiful and historic Hampton Mansion

This meeting promises to provide an insight into a historical building that has integrated "green" energy into the building and property.  Please bring a friend or spouse to this month's meeting.  There are some outstanding energy professionals in Baltimore and this would provide them an opportunity to meet with others to discuss energy conservation.

The Board is always looking for new topics that would be interesting to the members.  If you have any suggestions for topics, please contact John Hendrick.
