ASHRAE BC Research Promotion
As a Board of Governors, we are always grateful for the amazing generosity of our chapter members, both as individuals and organizations. We hope that we can count on your support once again to make an investment in ASHRAE Research in the coming year.
Our goal for the 2022/2023 year is $30,300
Since 1919, research has been the core of ASHRAE's existence. ASHRAE Research is the largest program of fundamental and applied research supported by a technical society. Currently, there are 50+ active research projects, with a total value of $10.6 Million.
By contributing to ASHRAE Research, you are supporting:
Development of technical information to create standards and guidelines, which serve as the basis for design and testing practices around the world.
Improvements to the way buildings are designed, built and operated - to maximize building performance, energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Progress towards Advanced Energy Design Guide (ADEG) and cost-effective net-zero-energy (NZE) buildings.
Significant advancement to our understanding of the impact of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) on work performance, health symptoms and perceived environmental quality in offices and facilities.
Development of tools, procedures and methods suitable for designing low energy buildings.
Development of improved HVAC&R components ranging from residential through commercial to provide improved system efficiency, affordability, reliability and safety.
Since 1959, 907 research projects valued at $76 Million have been conducted through funding from ASHRAE Research.
ASHRAE has been very active during the current crisis by establishing the ASHRAE epidemic task force to help deploy ASHRAE’s technical resources to address the challenges of the current pandemic, and future epidemics as it relates to the effects of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems on disease transmission in healthcare facilities, offices, home, public and recreational environments.
