Making it come Alive
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?
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
ASHRAE Research
The Research Project process …
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

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