ASHRAE December Luncheon: Ethics w/ Julia Timberman

Test your “Ethics IQ” against real cases. Engineers are often confronted with ethical issues (whether they realize it or not). In this presentation you will engage in an interactive session where you are presented with multiple ethics cases, then you will discuss the cases in small groups, and then reveal their decisions. The cases that will be presented are all part of the NSPE’s Board of Ethical Review Online Cases.

Julia Timberman, PE

During her 25+ years working in the HVAC industry in Columbus, Julia Timberman has worked in a variety of roles, from contracting to design to sales. She began her career interning for a mechanical contractor where she fell in love with the industry. After graduating from college, Julia transitioned to an engineering firm where she learned the design side of the industry, blending in practical experience from her time spent working for a mechanical contractor. In 2013 she earned her P.E. in HVAC. In recent years, Julia has moved to the sales side of the industry, where her personality and experience have allowed her to evaluate customer needs through the lens of a contractor’s practicality, an engineer’s design considerations and a project manager’s requirements, to help tailor solutions to meet her client’s needs.

Julia currently serves as the ASHRAE Director Regional Chair for Region V, representing the ASHRAE members in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan at a society level and helping to guide and shape ASHRAE as part of the Board of Director’s.
