ASHRAE Region XI Webinar – Investing in Decarbonization! Getting in on the ‘Radiant Floor’
As many of you already know, ASHRAE President Ginger Scoggins has selected the theme for the 2023-24 ASHRAE Society Year as “Challenge Accepted: Tackling the Climate Crisis.”
Ginger notes, “We are living in a climate emergency. Our desire to be more comfortable has brought us to a place where we need to make uncomfortable decisions. We can accept the challenge of our day regarding the impact of our buildings on the climate crisis by equipping our members with the knowledge they need to design and renovate buildings to address the greenhouse gas emissions of our industry.”
Region XI is embracing the challenge and will be hosting a webinar on November 9 at 11 am CST. The webinar will feature an impressive presentation that Region XI’s own team presented at the ASHRAE Building Decarbonization Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 25, 2023.
Presentation Content: Radiant floor heating and cooling systems can play a critical role in the effort to decarbonize construction while ensuring comfortable, healthy indoor environments. Join this session to explore the key design considerations, strategies, and benefits of these systems, along with an honest discussion of the challenges that lead architects and builders to remove them.
