ASHRAE Looks at Making ASHRAE Handbook More “Sustainable”

ATLANTA – To help engineers respond to environmental challenges, ASHRAE is working to ensure guidance on sustainable design is incorporated in its Handbook. ASHRAE is conducting a review of the sustainability content of all Handbook chapters and is looking at writing a new chapter on sustainability with a view toward integrated building design in its Fundamentals volume. The ASHRAE Handbook is the most widely used reference book in the HVAC&R industry for system design, application and equipment operation and maintenance.To give feedback on incorporating sustainable design guidance in the ASHRAE Handbook, visit the “comment on the Handbook section” at www.ashrae.org/handbook.
