Section 1.0 — Fundamentals and General

Scope:
Technical Committee 1.1 is concerned with basic thermodynamic laws and property relationships, particularly as they are applied to processes involved in heating, ventilating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and related areas of environmental engineering. A second concern of the TC is the fundamental thermodynamic and transport relationships for air and water vapor mixtures, as used in the study, measurement, and calculation of psychrometric properties and processes.

Scope:
Technical Committee 1.7 will educate the ASHRAE membership in general legal matters, which touch and concern the HVAC industry and its members. The committee will enable this education through the selection of speakers and offers for programs, and through the publication of articles and other educational materials.

Proposed Research:
  Proposed Research, TC 1.9, Electrical Systems, Adapting HVAC Systems to Operate Under Duress - Draft

Scope
Technical Committee 1.11 is concerned with Electric motors (including hermetic) used in heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems and the protection and control of such motors.

Scope
Technical Committee 1.12 - TC 1.12 is concerned with the interaction between the weather, the building envelope, its systems and its occupants which either lead to moisture accumulation or which prevent it.  The committee performs cross-cutting research, and collects and distributes information to help the public and the professions avoid problems associated with excessive moisture.  These efforts are coordinated with other technical committees, industries and professions which are responsible for individual systems, building components and public health and safety.

Scope
TC 1.13 Optimization is concerned with identifying, developing, and disseminating optimization techniques that enhance the performance of HVAC&R components, systems, and building systems that are not application or tool specific. The committee is focused on the fundamentals of optimization techniques including mathematical formulation, constraints handling, multi-objective optimization, approximation techniques, and robust optimization. These fundamentals are the foundation of data-driven, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) methods.
