 The American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), along with nine other leading organizations,
are forming a “Partnership Consortium” in response to the U.S. Department of
Energy request for consortia to advise the department on high-performance
building issues.
“This partnership will
ensure that the voices of the building industry are being heard,” says Bill
Harrison, ASHRAE president. “At a time when reducing energy consumption in
buildings is paramount, the consortium gives leaders in the built environment
and in those industries affecting construction a clear path to offer advice to
the DOE on our goals, concerns and new technologies.”
Other members of
the HPCGBP’s (The High-Performance Commercial Green Building Partnership) steering
committee currently includes the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration
Institute (AHRI), American Institute of Architects (AIA), Alliance to Save
Energy (ASE), Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), International
Code Council (ICC), Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA),
National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC),
reveals the company’s press release.
