Research

 

Research LogoResearch LogoSince 1960, ASHRAE has sponsored research studies at universities and research firms. The results of these studies have been used:

  • to prepare chapters in the ASHRAE Handbook series
  • as foundational material in special publications
  • in the formulation of standards

Almost all projects have been reported in presentations made at Society meetings or conferences and have been published in ASHRAE Transactions or in conference proceedings. These projects have also been beneficial in training university students as they prepare for service in the HVAC&R industry.

Standards

Generic ASHRAE Standard - blue border ASHRAE develops standards for both its members and others professionally concerned with refrigeration processes and the design and maintenance of indoor environments.

ASHRAE writes standards for the purpose of establishing consensus for: 1) methods of test for use in commerce and 2) performance criteria for use as facilitators with which to guide the industry. ASHRAE publishes the following three types of voluntary consensus standards: Method of Measurement or Test, Standard Design and Standard Practice. ASHRAE does not write rating standards unless a suitable rating standard will not otherwise be available.

Consensus standards are developed and published to define minimum values or acceptable performance, whereas other documents, such as design guides, may be developed and published to encourage enhanced performance.

ASHRAE is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and follows ANSI's requirements for due process and standards development.
