THIS MONTH IN CB HISTORY...2004

In March 2004,we reported that The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) added consumer education to its list of HVACR industry services. This 2004 ASHRAE Winter Meeting presented its second public session to address issues of importance to homeowners and HVACR contractors. The session covered residential energy efficiency issues and a public session on mold prevention. Then-president Richard Rooley said residential issues have always been on ASHRAE's radar screen. "We have an impact on people every day, where they live, how they live, and the quality of life they have," he said. ASHRAE released a helpful consumer information sheet, titled, 'Top 10 Ways Homeowners Can Ensure Good Indoor Air Quality.'
