ASHRAE Offers Assistance In HVAC To Iraqi Officials
WASHINGTON - As Iraqi engineers work to rebuild their country's roads, bridges, public buildings and houses, they are dependent upon technical information from 20 years ago.
To assist Iraq in obtaining the latest in technical information, including standards, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recently hosted a meeting between four senior officials of the Iraq Ministry of Construction and Housing and representatives of major U.S. building codes and standards developing organizations and engineering societies. The meeting was arranged by the U.S. Commerce Department.
