ATLANTA - Improving the efficient use of energy while minimizing its impact on the environment is the goal of a partnering agreement signed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
"ASHRAE energy standards have guided the efficient use of energy resources in buildings for more than 20 years," said Richard Rooley, FREng, ASHRAE president. "Partnering with the Department of Energy will allow us to improve on our efforts in achieving substantial energy savings without sacrificing comfort, air quality, or productivity."
