- Thought leadership – Track emerging issues and trends to showcase ASHRAE’s leadership position
- Collaboration – Coordinate joint initiatives, events and projects with U.S. and international organizations that compliment ASHRAE’s building decarbonization efforts.
- Public Advocacy – Provide reliable technical information on decarbonization to policymakers, media and the public.
The Center of Excellence for Building Decarbonization is also releasing two new technical guides that will aid facility managers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other sustainable initiatives.
