R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, National Engineers Week is taking place February 19
  to 25, 2017, and this occasion provides a welcome opportunity to
  recognize the engineering professionals of the Texas chapters of
  ASHRAE; and
         WHEREAS, Since 1951, "EWeek" has been set aside to celebrate
  the tremendous efforts of the men and women who work in the field of
  engineering and to promote the education of future leaders in this
  profession; and
         WHEREAS, Founded in 1894, ASHRAE is an international
  engineering society that focuses on building systems, energy
  efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration, and sustainability;
  the organization was originally known as the American Society of
  Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers before
  adopting the current acronym as its official name in 2012 as a
  reflection of its global status; today, ASHRAE has more than 55,000
  members, spread across 140 countries; and
         WHEREAS, By dedicating themselves to advancing technologies
  of benefit to all of human society, the members of the Alamo,
  Austin, Dallas, East Texas, Fort Worth, Houston, South Texas, and
  West Texas chapters of ASHRAE have made a lasting, positive
  difference in their communities and beyond, and it is indeed
  fitting to honor their contributions to the Lone Star State; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 19 to 25, 2017, as National
  Engineers Week and extend sincere appreciation to the members of
  the eight Texas chapters of ASHRAE; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
