ASHRAE Funds Research to Expand Handbook's Climatic Data
More efficient design and deployment of building energy systems will result from expanded and updated climatic condition information being developed for the ASHRAE Handbook, Fundamentals.
Climatic condition data is used in the design, sizing, distribution, installation and marketing of cooling, heating and dehumidification equipment, as well as for other energy-related processes in residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial applications.
Research to compile the expanded and updated (both geographically and content) information was approved for funding by ASHRAE at its 2003 Winter Meeting held in Chicago, January 25-29, 2003.
