ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., May 1, 2024—Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc. announces the appointment of Nazme Mohsina to the position of global technical director.
Mohsina, who returns to AMCA International following two years with a climate and energy consultancy, is 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.
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 catalogs for compliance with requirements of the Certified Ratings Program (CRP). She proved to be a quick study, eventually landing a full-time position as project engineer.
When the U.S. Department of Energy announced its intention to regulate fans, Mohsina volunteered to develop databases and spreadsheets of product data and to analyze the data in support of AMCA International advocacy efforts. She soon was drawn into other projects, including the development and updating of AMCA International test standards. Meanwhile, her knowledge of Middle Eastern and Indian culture proved integral to AMCA International’s growth in the Middle East.
In March 2017, Mohsina was promoted to associate director of certification, a role that saw her responsible for directing the activities and managing the staff of the CRP. 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.
In 2020, Mohsina was named to Engineered Systems magazine’s 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC list.
