  1. Making it come Alive Research ASHRAE Research

  2. ASHRAE Research • Mission: To improve the quality of life and to answer tomorrow’s questions through research today. • Development of technical information to create standards and guidelines, which serve as the basis for testing and design practices around the world. • Backbone to the Handbooks, Journal, Standards & Certification and other educational courses • But what does that mean?

  3. ASHRAE Research Examine how Standards relate to every day needs Explore new industry advances and how they relate to existing policies Examine real-life results in relation to established and new goals Investigate new avenues to further the industry, improve policy, & benefit every day life for all

  4. Project Completed, Accepted Handbook, Standards, Guides, Journal … everything that is ASHRAE The Research Project process …

  5. ASHRAE Technical Committees • More than 90 different specialties • Serves as the guiding hand, cheerleader, and work horse to the entire Research Community • All working together to produce relevant, timely, and toward the overall Society research goals

  6. Special Projects Needs TC Research Projects New Ideas Graduate Projects Goals

  7. Special Projects Standards Research Projects User Guides New … Graduate Projects The Handbooks

  8. Why do Donors donate? • Affect them personally • A cause, area, or issue that they care about

  12. “We raise money for HVAC&R Research!”

  13. How do you sell it? • ASHRAE Research: • Helps the environment • Creates better living conditions • Prevents the spread of bacteria and diseases

  14. “I raise money to…” • Improve the HVAC systems of buildings, trains, & buses to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases for the general public. • Reduce commercial countertop appliance emissions that impact workers’ and patrons’ health and comfort

  15. “I raise money to save the…” • Improve environmental impacts from ground source heat pumps. • Regular updating of the climatic conditions to show due diligence in a world of changing climate.

  16. “I raise money to help…” • Non-profit sustainability projects • Reduce costs to heat and cool homes • Improve Refrigeration • Lowering costs • Less spoilage

  17. Research Projects That impact all aspects of all of our lives

  18. Research Project 1450 • How are contaminates from attached or integral garages impacting IAQ and quality of life in residential buildings? • How is it happening? • What works, what doesn’t, and how big is the problem? • Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.

  19. Research Project 1603 • What role does the HVAC systems of buildings, trains, & buses play in the transmission of infectious diseases for the general public? • Do the current standards allow for enough fresh air, filtering, and humidly control to be safe or re new guidelines needed? • Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.

  20. Research Project 1631 • How are commercial countertop appliance emissions impacting workers’ and patrons’ health and comfort? • Do the current standards control grease, steam, and odor well enough to be safe and comfortable or are new guidelines needed? • Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.

  21. Research Project 1649 • What is impact on IAQ of using High Efficiency Replacement Filters in residential buildings? • What is the life of these filters vs traditional filters? Are the benefits worth the cost? • Do they actually even work to improve IAQ? • Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.

  22. 80+ research projects • Traditional projects • Special focus projects • Development of User Guides • Grant-in-Aid Graduate Student projects • All 14 Regions have active projects • All members benefit … regardless of location regardless of specialty
