SUMMARY:AEE May Chapter Meeting - The (Un)Ethical Engineer - Joint meeting with ASHRAE and ASPE
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a joint society meeting featuring ASPE\, AEE\, and ASHRAE! \n\n\n\nThe integrity of the HVAC industry is dependent on sound technical design\, reliable products\, skilled construction practice and consistent maintenance and operation. But another critical element that is sometimes overlooked is professional ethics. As members within the HVAC industry engineers\, contractors\, architects\, manufacturers\, vendors and building owners are expected to exhibit the highest standard of honesty and integrity to safeguard the confidence that the public has in us.  In this very competitive climate\, however\, it is sometimes tempting to “bend the rules” to some degree in order to gain an advantage over competition or to simply get the job done on time. But how much is too much? Is there a clearly defined line between ethical practice and “just the way things are done?” \n\n\n\n“The (un)Ethical Engineer” is an interactive\, multimedia\, dramatic presentation that explores these issues through the eyes of a well-intentioned engineer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Devin A. Abellon \, P.E. \n\n\n\nDevin Abellon\, P.E. is the Director of Engineered Solutions at Pac West Sales. He has 30 years of experience in the HVAC and plumbing industries with a focus on highperformance and sustainable building design and construction. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara and is a registered professional engineer in California and Arizona. He has been an active member of ASHRAE at the chapter\, regional and society levels and currently serves as an ASHRAE Society Vice President\, on ASHRAE’s Planning Committee and the Board of Directors DEI Advisory Subcommittee. He is also co-host of The Flourish Podcast.

SUMMARY:NYPA AGILe Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the AEE Capital Region Chapter for an exclusive tour of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) Advanced Grid Innovation Laboratory for Energy (AGILe) in Albany\, NY\, one of the most innovative energy technology facilities in the Northeast. \n\n\n\nThe NYPA AGILe Lab is at the forefront of grid modernization\, clean energy innovation\, and digital transformation in the power sector. This is a rare opportunity to get an inside look at the cutting-edge tools\, technologies\, and strategies NYPA is deploying to advance New York State’s ambitious clean energy goals. \n\n\n\nWhether you are an energy engineer\, sustainability professional\, facility manager\, or utility industry representative\, this tour promises to deliver valuable insights and spark meaningful conversations about the future of energy in our region. This event is only open to AEE members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat does AGILe do?\n\n\n\nThe Advanced Grid Innovation Laboratory for Energy (AGILe) is a world-class electric power systems laboratory operated by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) at the NY CREATES Albany NanoTech Complex. Its primary function is to provide a real-time testing environment to modernize the electric grid and accelerate the transition to clean energy. \n\n\n\nCore Functions & Capabilities \n\n\n\nNational Resource: In early 2026\, AGILe was added to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Registry of Electric Grid Test Beds\, recognizing it as the only facility nationwide with full system-level functionality for multi-regional large-scale power grids.  \n\n\n\nDigital Twin of the NY Power Grid: AGILe hosts the first-ever comprehensive digital twin of the New York State electric grid\, allowing for the simulation of future scenarios and the testing of new technologies in a risk-free environment. \n\n\n\nDe-risking Technology: It enables utilities\, grid operators\, and technology developers to validate new products—such as battery storage\, EV charging infrastructure\, and offshore wind integration—before they are deployed in the field. \n\n\n\nCybersecurity Research: The lab serves as a hub for cybersecurity\, allowing experts to simulate cyber incidents and develop innovative mitigation technologies. \n\n\n\nGrid Reliability Testing: Experts use real-time simulations to assess the impacts of extreme weather events and high penetrations of renewable energy on the bulk power system to ensure long-term reliability. \n\n\n\nCheck in instructions will be shared with registered attendees. Registration will open on 4/24/26 at 7:00 AM. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\n\n📅 Date: Tuesday\, August 11\, 2026\n\n\n\n🕐 Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n📍 Location: NYPA AGILe Lab\, Albany\, NY (exact address and parking details to follow upon registration)\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited — register early to secure your spot.
