ASHRAE funds human thermal comfort database project
Creation of a database to help better understand human thermal comfort in residential and commercial buildings is being funded through an ASHRAE grant program.
Veronika Foldvary, a visiting Ph.D. student at the Center for the Built Environment (CBE), University of California, Berkeley, is one of 18 students who will receive a grant through the ASHRAE Graduate Student Grant-In-Aid Award Program. The program is designed to encourage students to continue their education in preparation for service in the HVACR industry. The grants, totaling $180,000, are awarded to full-time graduate students of ASHRAE-related technologies.
