*President's Message - May 2018: Donkey Lessons and Houston Meeting*

This is Natasha, a donkey. She’s friendly, loves to have her ears rubbed,
and enjoys playful tussles with her partner Boris. She’s bright and
curious. True to her donkey nature, she questions authority. But Natasha’s
not stubborn, she’s just being thoughtful and wants evidence that her
following you will lead to a good outcome.

*Board Member Message: Liam Buckley of IES*

“This new European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) will
revolutionize the way that buildings will be designed across Europe” stated
my Environmental Engineering lecturer in January of 2003. That statement
from Dr. Ken Beattie, lecturing in an undergraduate Engineering degree
class in Dublin Institute of Technology, was the exact moment that my
building simulation career began.
