(All TC sub- committees meet from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM in the same room.)
Note: Since this is a relatively small TC, we discuss research, handbook, and program activities
during one combined subcommittee meeting. Voting members are strongly encouraged to attend
the subcommittee meeting. Corresponding members and guests are welcome.
Since the majority of the sub-committee meeting has been allocated to the discussion of a specific
research project topic, much of the discussion and action for Programs, Handbook, Standards,
and other Research will take place at the main committee meeting.
In this and all other ASHRAE meetings, we will act with honesty, fairness,
courtesy, competence, integrity and respect for others, and we shall avoid all real
or perceived conflicts of interests.
