PNNL

The ASHRAE Annual Conference explores the legislative initiatives, electrification, artificial intelligence, and other technological and social forces impacting ASHRAE members across all aspects the built environment. The program tracks for the 2024 ASHRAE Annual Conference in Indianapolis seek to explore the challenges and opportunities in responding to these changes, while continuing to focus on core HVAC&R fundamentals, equipment, and research and development. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers share their expertise through seminars, paper presentations, debates, and panel discussions.
