🔬 Research Impact

Since 1960, ASHRAE has sponsored research studies at universities and research firms. The results of these studies have been used to prepare chapters in the ASHRAE Handbook series: as foundational material in special publications: in the formulation of standards: to train university students as they prepare for the service in the HVAC&R industry: and to spread the knowledge gained through presentations at Society Conferences and publication in ASHRAE Transactions or conference proceedings.
