Strategic Plan for Research
A new research strategic plan will guide ASHRAE research for the next five years. The plan outlines ASHRAE’s research goals for the next five years. It centers on sustainability, which is defined as “the concept of maximizing the effectiveness of resource use while minimizing the impact of that use on the environment.”
Please send comments and suggestions to Mike Vaughn, ASHRAE manager of research and technical services, at MORTS@ashrae.net.
