Upcoming Meetings and Events

2026-27 ASHRAE Society theme

ASHRAE society president Sarah E. Maston, P.E., BCxP, LEED AP is proud to present her 2026-27 presidential theme, “Changing the Game: Retrofitting for Resilience.”

“There is no one-size-fits-all solution or game plan for retrofitting buildings. Every building has its own constraints – mechanical systems, budgets and operational needs. Also, financial constraints, or utility infrastructure, plays a part in deciding the game plan or resilience strategy of a building. That’s why teamwork is absolutely essential.”
