 Thomas “Tom” Werkema,
director of government activities for Arkema
Inc.’s North American Fluorochemicals Division, was installed as
director-at-large of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and
Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) at its 2009 Annual Conference in June.
As a director-at-large,
Werkema is the first representative from a chemical company to be named to
ASHRAE’s Board of Directors in many years. In his new role as a
director-at-large, Werkema will be the Board representative to the Environment
and Health, Refrigeration, and Society Rules Committees and the Technical
Council, as well as representing the broader ASHRAE membership.
"Internationally, the
focus on real energy-efficient building performance poses both a challenge and
an opportunity," says Werkema. "Business opportunities for Arkema and
the refrigerants industry are enhanced as societies around the world pursue
energy efficiency, which means our industry's goals are aligned with ASHRAE's
goals.”
