About
Come join us directly after the ASHRAE Annual Conference for the first of several workshops focusing on the development of test methods for building occupancy sensing systems. Assessments of occupancy sensor system performance include reliability measurement, energy savings potential, and HVAC system integration ability.
Participants from a wide range of backgrounds will represent manufacturers, vendors, researchers, building owners and operators, utilities, national labs, and more.
Our ultimate goal over the next several years is to reach a consensus on standard testing methods for occupancy sensing systems used for HVAC applications in buildings - leading to the development of an ASHRAE standard or guideline in the future.
If you are available directly after the last session of the ASHRAE Annual Conference and would like to join as a supporting piece to our workshop, please RSVP above! Reimbursement funds are available for those who attend. Your experience, participation, and contribution to our vision is greatly appreciated!
