Celebrating Progress
Let's refl ect on 2021. Even if 2021 might not have had the universal
" return to normal " people were hoping for, this past year has been full of
progress. The end of the year calls for celebrating what we have accomplished.
For the HVAC&R industry, that means highlighting innovations
and growth.
ASHRAE's Task Force for Building Decarbonization was formed just
this past spring and has since grown exponentially in participation
and scope. ASHRAE's Vision 2030 initiative also launched this year and
provides resources to help engineers improve every aspect of the built
environment as technologies evolve. On the physical side, ASHRAE's new
global headquarters marked the signifi cant milestone this fall of operating
at net zero energy (NZE), demonstrating the economic viability of
NZE operation.
Of course, the Epidemic Task Force has continued to produce quality
technical guidance to help the HVAC&R industry improve indoor environments
amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we exit 2021, we can be proud of what we have accomplished
and continue to strive for improvement. This month's Industry News
(page 6) and Andy Pearson's Refrigeration Applications column (page 48)
both look forward. In Industry News, industry experts predict trends
the HVAC&R industry could continue to see in the new year. Pearson
explores the future of the industry.
The 12 issues of ASHRAE Journal this year expanded the HVAC&R industry's
knowledge and expertise in various technologies and ideas. Thank
you to ASHRAE Journal's authors and reviewers for their hard work and
dedication to create the magazine, and we are grateful for ASHRAE Journal
readers' support.
Before the sun sets on 2021, be sure to catch up on the great content
published in ASHRAE Journal this year by logging onto ASHRAE's
Technology Portal at technologyportal.ashrae.org
As we put a bow on 2021, let's look forward to 2022. What do you want
to see in ASHRAE Journal's pages in the new year? Submit your ideas to our
managing editor, Mary Kate McGowan, at mmcgowan@ashrae.org
Best wishes for the new year.
