We are offering a hybrid AGM experience which means that you […]

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. […]

The presentation addressed the key technologies that enable solar driven and decarbonised heating and cooling systems for buildings to operate in efficient and effective ways. In terms of the heating, the multiple-throughout-flowing featured panels-array in combination with micro-channel structure for individual panels are the most creative technologies that has proven to be able to achieve […]

We are excited to invite you to a special workshop, "Building a Net Zero Future: Co-Designing Sustainable Neighbourhoods" taking place on Monday, October 21st. This workshop is being organised by London South Bank University, Surry University, RECLAIM network+, Loughborough University, the Chetwynd: The Toton and Chilwell Neighbourhood Forum (CTTCNF), Chetwynd Community Interest Company, CIBSE East […]

The ASHRAE Center of Excellence for Building Decarbonization (CEBD) is launching a global project to develop a flexible building code framework for emerging economy countries.  Eighty-two percent of population growth through 2030 is expected in emerging economies, where many countries lack mandatory energy codes. This project seeks to streamline the development and adoption of consensus-based […]

Green design and construction is leading the charge of new design approaches in almost every section of the building industry. The successful execution of a green building project, or more specifically a LEED certified project, entails a more integrated approach throughout both the design and construction processes. A key component of green design is the […]
