Sustainability Project
for brighter futures
In March 2020 the world changed. The 2020 pandemic pushed people to pay more attention to the quality of spaces we live and work in.
With the 2024 ASHRAE Winter Conference being held in Chicago, the ASHRAE Chapter was given the opportunity to identify a local sustainability project to represent ASHRAE’s commitment to sustainability and to help offset the environmental impact from holding the Annual Conference here. Historically this has been an energy efficiency project. The decision has been made to address the topic of IAQ as a response to the global pandemic and as an attempt to educate the next generation of scientists. We decided to partner with Attune (previously Senseware), an organization that specializes in indoor air quality monitoring in real time, to educate elementary and middle school age children on what indoor air quality is and how it impacts our lives. The project consists of IAQ sensors installation in (2) schools, a half day hands on workshop and educational material. The local chapter volunteers will be coordinating all site work and installation related work with Attune and school management.
ASHRAE will cover the cost of the sensors, installation, and the fee to cover the program for 3 years. At the end of year 1 (2024) and year 3 (2027) a case study will be presented at the ASHRAE winter conference in Chicago.
