AMCA International announces new appointment

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, United States, 1 May 2024: Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc. announced the appointment of Nazme Mohsina as its Global Technical Director. Making the announcement through a Press release, AMCA said that Mohsina, who returns to AMCA International following two years with a climate and energy consultancy, will be responsible for supporting California investor-owned utilities on HVAC-appliance-efficiency standards, providing analysis and advice on federal rulemakings and technical guidance for complying with California Title 20 regulations for fan and industrial-blower efficiency, and participating in ASHRAE Standing Standard Project Committee (SSPC) 90.1. 

AMCA said that with a bachelor's degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Dayton, Mohsina got her start with AMCA International in 2011, working part-time checking manufacturer catalogues for compliance with requirements of the Certified Ratings Program (CRP). The Association further said that she proved to be a quick study, eventually landing a full-time position as a project engineer. 

AMCA said that when the United States Department of Energy announced its intention to regulate fans, Mohsina volunteered to develop databases and spreadsheets of product data and analyse the data in support of AMCA International's advocacy efforts. The Association further said she was soon drawn into other projects, including developing and updating AMCA International test standards. Moreover, AMCA said, her knowledge of Middle Eastern and Indian cultures proved integral to AMCA International's growth in the Middle East region.  

AMCA said that in March 2017, Mohsina was promoted to associate director of certification, a role that saw her as responsible for directing the activities and managing the staff of the CRP. The Association said her technical acumen and intense focus on member satisfaction led to her promotion to technical director in May 2019, a position that saw her responsible for the operations of the AMCA International headquarters laboratory, AMCA International independent laboratories, the AMCA International Laboratory Accreditation Program, and the CRP.

AMCA said that in 2020, Mohsina was named to Engineered Systems magazine's 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC list.
