Our Speaker this month is Sam Lasley.
​
Sam Lasley is the Commercial Area Sales Manager covering Tennessee for Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC (METUS). Sam was born and raised in Louisville, KY before attending the University of Kentucky to study Mechanical Engineering. Before joining METUS, Sam worked as a Sales Engineer specializing in dedicated outdoor air systems and ventilation. Sam is passionate about helping engineers in the understanding and design of VRF Equipment.
Sam will provide an overview of Hybrid VRF, a two-pipe hybrid hydronic VRF system that heats and cools simultaneously. Hybrid VRF marries the best of VRF and hydronic systems, utilizing Hybrid BC Controllers with refrigerant-water heat exchangers to supply variable chilled or hot water to hydronic indoor units, allowing indoor spaces to be conditioned while free of refrigerant

Chapter Regional Conference
If you’ve ever thought about stepping into a leadership role or chairing a committee, the Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) is the perfect opportunity to take that next step. This annual event brings together ASHRAE leaders from across Region VII for training, networking, and collaboration.
On Saturday, committee-specific training sessions will be held with the Regional Vice Chairs (RVCs), offering focused support and resources tailored to each committee—whether it's Membership Promotion, Research Promotion, Student Activities, Government Affairs, or others. It’s a great way to learn the ropes and connect with peers serving in similar roles across the region.
You’ll leave with practical tools, new connections, and a stronger sense of how you can make a meaningful impact within our chapter.
