Building Codes and Energy Efficiency

Most people whom I speak with understand that reducing energy use and costs and slowing the pace of climate change are worthy goals. Very few of them, however, understand how to accomplish these goals. There's a disconnect between their good intentions and their ability to take positive action.

To be fair, this is not an uncommon situation. All of us have experienced the predicament of wanting to do something and yet not knowing how to do it. That's when you either give up or start looking for help. Fortunately for those of us who want to become more energy efficient and are looking for a guiding star, there is ASHRAE, “a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment.”1

ASHRAE's mission is “to serve humanity by advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and their allied fields” through “research, standards writing, publishing, and continuing education.” The organization has a long and venerable history:

ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.1
