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.
