ASHRAE News HQ Becoming 'Living Lab' The renovation of ASHRAE's headquarters building in Atlanta will feature a new learning center and will serve as a "living lab" showcasing HVAC&R technologies. "The headquarters will support the ASHRAE research program with a rich resource of data on building, system and equipment performance, a demonstration of performance monitoring, and space for ‘real world’ investigations in an operating building," said ASHRAE president-elect Bill Harrison, who serves as chair of the committee overseeing the project. ASHRAE staff moved into temporary offices earlier this month. The renovation is expected to be completed in June 2008.  Click here for more information on the headquarters renovation. Relocation Won't Create Problems The temporary relocation of ASHRAE headquarters will not impact members as the Society will maintain its same phone number and mailing address. The main ASHRAE number remains 404-636-8400. The mailing address is 1791 Tullie Circle NE, Atlanta, GA 30329. Any members planning on visiting headquarters should call for directions to the temporary space, located about 3 miles (4.8 km) from the building ASHRAE has occupied since its move to Atlanta in 1981.
