Dr. John Cermak and his group are charged with setting long range goals for our TC. They regularly solicit opinions from all concerning the future needs of fan designers and users.

Some of their ideas follow:

1. To establish a far better model for fan sound prediction based on detailed test results. One test would be on Axial flow fans and another based on Centrifugal fan design.

2. A program of introducing some form of interaction to our Chapter 18 of the ASHRAE Handbook.

3. Adding fan interactive application education to our website.

4. To launch a program to promote fan efficiency as a significant factor for power reduction.

5. To build a network with local chapters to promote better fan applications using Power Point and other aides.
