Research
Strategy
The objective of TC
1.5’s research program is to capture state-of-the-art
advancements in computer-related technology that relate to HVAC&R
research, design, manufacture, operation and maintenance and the
dissemination of this information.
To accomplish this objective,
TC 1.5 plan has two goals:
- The first goal is to
identify and promote projects designed to demonstrate the efficacy of
emerging computer applications with potential impact on the practices
of the heating, ventilating, refrigerating and air-conditioning
industry. Potential application domains include (but are not limited
to) controls, diagnosis and design.
- The second goal includes
identifying and promoting projects designed to advance the
Society’s internal and external operations. Potential application
domains include society, chapter and TC operations, standards
development, and publication/software enhancement.
Examples of research of the
first type might include development of advanced software applications
such as knowledge-based systems designed to provide building owner/
operators with maintenance and diagnostic insights or neural networks
designed to predict building energy consumption patterns. Examples of
research of the second type include development or refinement of
societal software standards and exploration of techniques for advanced
computer-related communication with the membership.
In so far as practical, TC
1.5 research will be coordinated with other TC's or ASHRAE operating
divisions to ensure that content and computing expertise are
appropriately focused on the research issue and that the value of the
research product is maximized.
