Please save the date Thursday January 11, 2024 at 11 am CST as Regional XI will be hosting an exciting webinar titled ‘Investing in Decarbonization! Getting in on the ‘Radiant Floor’.
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 crises 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 that will be an impressive presentation that Region XI’s own members presented at the ASHRAE Building Decarbonization Conference in Washington DC October 25, 2023.
Presentation title – Investing in Decarbonization! Getting in on the ‘Radiant Floor’
