State of the Society Modeling a Sustainable World

摘要

As this Society year draws to a close, we have the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of the past 12 months. And there have been many. Our 3000 plus members who serve the Society as active volunteers have made great progress in developing and offering education courses; writing and publishing design guidance, standards, guidelines, and our Handbook; and in maintaining active and engaged chapters throughout the world. Our staff of 100 plus supports these activities, and us as volunteers, on a daily basis, bringing a true sense of service, commitment, and professionalism to their work. I want to thank you, our volunteers and the ASHRAE staff, for the time and talent you have so willingly given this year to improving and advancing our Society. Let me spend a few minutes highlighting some of these accomplishments. Let's start with some of our technical activities.
