Given the concurrent climate crisis, the optimal mitigation bundle of interventions must achieve the highest possible risk reduction with the lowest possible resultant emissions.
To meaningfully contribute to meeting the administration’s goal of achieving a 50%-52% reduction from 2005 greenhouse gas emission levels by 2030, and a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, the department of the treasury should align with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and affirm the most recent version of the standard, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019, as the reference building standard.
HVAC security and building safety considerations should begin at the start of the building program in the design-schematic phase and not be an afterthought later in this program.

New features include the ability to report against ASHRAE Laboratory Risk Level rating, expansion of reporting capability, and strengthened cybersecurity.
The competitions recognize outstanding student design projects, promote teamwork and allow students to apply their practical design knowledge of energy-efficient HVAC systems.
The theme of the Sept. 14-16 conference, “Better Buildings, Less Carbon: Supporting the Transition to a Clean and Just Climate,” focuses on research and methodology for minimizing operational carbon in buildings.
