Making it come Alive
ASHRAE Research
ASHRAE Research
Mission: To improve the quality of life and to answer
tomorrow’s questions through research today.
• Development of technical information to create
standards and guidelines, which serve as the basis for
testing and design practices around the world.
• Backbone to the Handbooks, Journal, Standards &
Certification and other educational courses
But what does that mean?
ASHRAE Research
Examine how Standards relate to every day needs
Explore new industry advances and how they relate to
existing policies
Examine real-life results in relation to established and
new goals
Investigate new avenues to further the industry, improve
policy, & benefit every day life for all

Research Projects
That impact all aspects of all of our lives
Research Project 1450
How are contaminates from attached or
integral garages impacting IAQ and
quality of life in residential buildings?
How is it happening?
What works, what doesn’t, and how big is
the problem?
Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.
Research Project 1603
What role does the HVAC systems of
buildings, trains, & buses play in the
transmission of infectious diseases for the
general public?
Do the current standards allow for enough
fresh air, filtering, and humidly control to be
safe or re new guidelines needed?
Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.
Research Project 1631
How are commercial countertop appliance
emissions impacting workers’ and patrons’
health and comfort?
Do the current standards control grease,
steam, and odor well enough to be safe and
comfortable or are new guidelines needed?
Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.
Research Project 1649
What is impact on IAQ of using High
Efficiency Replacement Filters in residential
buildings?
What is the life of these filters vs traditional
filters? Are the benefits worth the cost?
Do they actually even work to improve IAQ?
Thanks to this project, we’ll soon know.
