USA: Building for People and Performance, Achieving Operational Excellence, is the theme for the year of new ASHRAE president Darryl K Boyce.

Installed during this week’s ASHRAE annual conference in Kansas City, Boyce succeeds current president Sheila J Hayter for 2019/20.

Previously served on the board of directors as treasurer, vice president and director-at-large, Darryl K. Boyce is the recipient of ASHRAE’s Distinguished Service Award, Exceptional Service Award and Regional Award of Merit.

He is currently special advisor to the vice-president (finance and administration) at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

In addition to his time served on ASHRAE’s board of directors, Boyce has served as chair and coordinating officer for the finance committee and chair of the members council, appointments roadmap committee and president-elect advisory committee.
