A professional society for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration that publishes standards and training.
ASHRAE is a professional society focused on heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and related fields, with a stated mission of advancing a sustainable built environment. Its website promotes conferences, training for businesses and collaborative frameworks, and it is widely known for the standards it publishes. Owners in Nashville meet its work indirectly through the design of heating and cooling systems and ventilation.
We are an independent firm and are not part of ASHRAE. Mechanical engineers and contractors design and size heating, cooling and ventilation systems using standards like these. We coordinate with them, plan space for equipment and ducts, design envelopes that make systems smaller and more efficient and prepare drawings that show clearly how the pieces fit together.
