She highlighted the climate change migration that has taken place globally in the past 50 years and spoke about ASHRAE’s commitment to providing resources and thought leadership in global building decarbonization.
“We are living in a climate emergency,” said Scoggins. “Our desire to be more comfortable has brought us to a place where we need to make uncomfortable decisions. We can accept the challenge of our day regarding the impact of our buildings on the climate crises by equipping our members with the knowledge they need to design and renovate buildings to address the greenhouse gas emissions of our industry.”
The complete slate of elected officers along with the newest directors and regional chairs were introduced, and ASHRAE also introduced its newest directors-at-large which includes Doug C. Cochrane, P.Eng., an independent consultant from Mississauga.
