The ASHRAE Task Force for Building Decarbonization (TFBD) is seeking working group members for the development of six decarbonization guides and corresponding training courses.

The five-day event includes eight conference tracks, over 80 sessions, tours, social experiences and industry-specific committee meetings.

The design guide was developed in partnership by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Building Technologies Office, ASHRAE, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). 

The Commercial Green Construction Professional certification was created to assist in developing new standards for building construction in order to address the problem of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to help reinforce societal health, life and safety benefits. 

The Winter Conference featured over 50 technical sessions, updates from Society leaders, tours, social events and livestreamed sessions for virtual attendees.

ASHRAE members will vote on the nominees via electronic ballot in May. Farooq Mehboob will serve as ASHRAE President for the 2022-23 Society Year.

After taking a year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 AHR Expo will return in-person Jan. 31 — Feb. 2 in Las Vegas. ASHRAE’s Winter Conference — a joint in-person and virtual event — will be held during the same time, from Jan. 29 — Feb. 2, at Caesar’s Palace.

PV systems such as the ASHRAE’s offer approximately 25 years of performance.

The agreement specifies the path forward and defines parameters by which the organizations will work cooperatively to promote the advancement of emerging research and technologies to support a more sustainable built environment.

For the first time ever, the ASHRAE Winter Conference will be presented in a hybrid format, offering both in-person and virtual options for participation for attendees, provides convenience and affords global participation with a group of the world’s leading presenters delivering timely and useful industry content.
