communities, Underwood said.

The theme focuses not only on
the connections of ASHRAE
membership but extends to
connecting with industry,
communities, governments and
globally.
Underwood was awarded
a Bachelor of Science in Civil

He was a volunteer Board

and served in all executive
positions. He also served on
the CSA B52 committee on
Mechanical Refrigeration,

the advisory committee that

assisted the Ontario government
in developing refrigeration
regulations for Ontario.
He coauthored a trade
refrigeration safety manual
and served on a trade advisory
committee for the refrigeration
trade in Ontario. As a member of
a Canadian Federal committee
he participated in writing the
Building Science and Plumbing
section of the 2015 edition of the
Model National Building Code
(MNBC).
He is an ASHRAE
Distinguished Lecturer and a
member of Technical Committee
7.2, HVAC&R Construction &
Design Build Technologies, and
of the Building Performance
Alliance Ad Hoc Committee.
Underwood previously served
on the Board as president-elect,
treasurer, served two terms as a
