ASHRAE Seeks to Expand Staff to Include Code Expert
In the 1990s, ASHRAE's code activities consisted mainly of monitoring the CABO Model Energy Code. Today, with more than 10 ASHRAE standards referenced in various national and international codes, the society's code activities are more involved.
"In recent years, as the society began to write standards intended for adoption by code models, ASHRAE's activities in codes interaction moved from a fairly passive monitoring of codes to a much more proactive interaction with the model code bodies," Bruce Hunn, ASHRAE's director of technology, said.
