The ASHRAE Task Force For Building Decarbonization (TFBD) webpage includes technical resources, information, videos and publications to expedite the adoption of climate change mitigation policies.

This research involved a detailed review of current water supply practices, design of suppression systems that depend upon the use of water supplies, and the impacts of water stress or scarcity on water supply systems.

For years, environmental considerations and sustainability have influenced innovation in manufacturing, and in 2021, those factors became the driving force behind new product development. 

ASHRAE formally participated as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and an official COP observer.

Exactly 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina slammed New Orleans leaving 1,800 people dead, Hurricane Ida made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds.

Many of us may not be aware of this because it has received so little attention in North America, but Turkey is currently fighting some of the worst fires in decades.

The targets are set in alignment with the latest climate science requirements needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and aim to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5° C (approximately 3° F).

The task force has been established to develop technical resources and provide leadership and guidance in mitigating the negative carbon impact of buildings on the environment and the inhabitants of our planet. 

The forms of the resilience challenge are potentially diverse — including climate change, disease pandemics, economic fluctuations and terrorism.
