ASHRAE 2010-2015 Research Strategic Plan for a Sustainable Future

The ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan (2010-2015) outlines key goals aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability within the built environment. With 11 strategic goals, the plan addresses technical challenges and emphasizes application-based research. Key initiatives include maximizing operational energy performance, improving HVAC and lighting efficiency in homes, and developing low-energy building design tools. The plan represents collaborative efforts among industry professionals and aims to guide decision-making in design, construction, operations, and maintenance for the next five years.
