Asking Questions
This issue is full of answers to interesting questions:
* What is the best way to implement all-electric heating
solutions for large buildings (page 12)?
* How can we mitigate COVID-19 transmission in
public spaces (page 28)?
* How is cryptocurrency driving innovation in data centers (page 44)?
* What does the HVAC&R industry need to know so that it can respond
to current challenges (page 73)?
GETTING THE BEST ANSWERS to that last question begins with
forming the questions that spark research projects. ASHRAE's new
Research Strategic Plan that took effect recently outlines six research
initiatives:
Resilience, with some of the needed research developing software
tools to help professionals evaluate a building or community's resiliency.
IEQ: environmental quality in occupied environments and impacts
on work and learning, health and well-being, and transmission of
airborne pathogens, including examining the combined effects of thermal,
acoustic, visual and air quality conditions on well-being, comfort,
health, productivity and sleep.
Sustainability, energy and resources, with needed research expanding
dynamic simulation models' capabilities to integrate modeling of
building loads, mechanical and electrical systems and controls.
HVAC&R equipment, components and materials, including
ASHRAE's continued research to identify and evaluate new, low global
warming potential (GWP) refrigerants.
Tools and applications, with needed research exploring technical
challenges that inhibit wider development and availability of userfriendly
predictive tools and digital twins.
Education and outreach, encapsulating a strategy to incorporate education
and outreach goals in every ASHRAE-funded research project.
After 289 issues, I am leaving my full-time staff role with ASHRAE, but
don't be surprised if you see my name on a byline or contributors' list in
future editions. I'm grateful to have worked with thousands of members
in my 24 years here, and I can testify ASHRAE volunteers are the most
committed, hard-working people whom I have ever known. The Society's
work is essential. I will miss being part of it.
Sarah Foster, ASHRAE Journal Editor
