This subcommittee of TC 1.5 will focus on
new and emerging computer technologies, and its primary mission will be
to educate the society on emerging technologies with potential for
significant impact on ASHRAE and, where appropriate, to demonstrate
their application to the needs of the HVAC industry. The range of
activities of this subcommittee are expected to be quite broad and are
expected to continually evolve as technologies change and as member
interests change. The Emerging Applications Subcommittee will be
responsible for developing and taking program and research proposals
forward to the Program and Research subcommittees. This subcommittee
will serve as successor to the KBS and Computer-Aided Design
Subcommittees and will inherit responsibility for ongoing research and
program activities of those two subcommittees.
SCOPE
Application areas that are of interest to
this subcommittee as they apply to the HVAC industry include
- advanced design tools
- contracting and business
