The presentation will look at how the ASHRAE standards and guidelines can space the future of the built environment to effect reduction in carbon emissions. We will also look at the impact of ASHRAE government outreach on the legislation and regulations that directly impact the design construction and operation of the built environment. Date – […]

We are thrilled to have Carol Smith and Ruth King Join us for the our upcoming webinar on "Empowering Green Futures: Trends in Solar Energy & Mental Toughness for Success" Trends in the Solar Industry…and the Benefits of Using Solar Carol Smith – Principal Quality Project Manager, Complete Solaria Going Green and reducing our carbon […]

Title: " Driving Sustainable Innovation through Multidisciplinary Collaboration: The Building Engineering perspective" Summary: Join us for an engaging talk on "The Rise of the Building Engineers" by Matt Wrate, Director at Chord Consult, Nottingham. Explore how the role of building services engineers has evolved over the past 20 years and their increasing importance in designing […]

A Key Strategy in Decarbonisation: Optimising the Design of Radiant Cooling and Heating Systems for High Temperature Cooling and Low Temperature Heating. Extracting maximum energy and exergy efficiency from a heating and cooling system requires optimisation of return fluid temperatures. Large surface area heat exchangers such as embedded pipe radiant systems have the necessary characteristics […]

ASHRAE UK Building Services Exhibition and Technology Awards is a unique event which brings together professionals such as consulting engineers, contractors, manufacturers, architects and future graduates in a single place and helps them to get benefited from one another. ASHRAE UK Chapter is excited to bring to you the 3rd ASHRAE UK Building Services Exhibition […]

The lecture introduces a structured approach to designing zero carbon buildings, taking into account embodied and operational emissions. The way we design zero carbon buildings starts with making design decisions about the site, geometry, thermal insulation, solar gain, solar shading, thermal mass, ventilation and integration of daylight with electrical lighting. By integrating all these aspects […]

This workshop aims to facilitate a discussion on the ASHRAE Hot Climate Design Guide. This guide covers best practices for designing energy-efficient, net-zero carbon buildings in hot climates to engineer healthy and productive environments for occupants and users to enjoy their natural indoor and outdoor environments during  hot and extreme weather periods, especially when extreme […]

In an industrial steel plant, medium and low-temperature waste heat can be recovered using metal hydride (MH) heat pumps, which offer advantages like low carbon emissions, compactness, and high-temperature heat output. A funded project explores MH heat pumps through alloy selection, characterisation, dynamic simulation, and experimental development. Alloy selection focuses on operating temperatures and system […]

This year, ASHRAE UK will host the Region XIV Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) which will bring together ASHRAE European and international members, and chapters to the United Kingdom. This event aims to bring together individuals and organisations across all industries with the common goal of achieving net zero carbon together – for our future generations. […]
