ATLANTA – The recent decision to
withdrawal the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord does not change or
alter ASHRAE's commitment to accelerate the transformation to a more
sustainable global built environment.
"Our member-established mission underscores our mandate to serve
humanity and create a more sustainable world," says ASHRAE President
Tim Wentz. "ASHRAE is a global Society of 57,000 dedicated
professionals in more than 130 countries, committed to reducing the
environmental impact of buildings by making them more energy efficient.
Our mission will not waiver as geopolitical tides rise and fall."
"Now, more than ever, ASHRAE affirms its mission to advance the arts
and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world," Wentz
says.
ASHRAE recently announced a substantial $1.3 million investment in
researching alternative low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants.
"ASHRAE's work is based on research and science. The Society will
continue to establish best practice standards for the design and
operation of buildings that have lower environmental impacts and
concurrently optimize health and human comfort for occupants," says
Wentz.
"Our Society remains dedicated to engineering excellence in
environmental stewardship. In fact, the recent Paris Accord
announcement makes the critical role of ASHRAE members in reducing the
environmental impact of buildings more important than ever before."
