ASHRAE signs MoU with IAQA

ASHRAE and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote better indoor air quality in the built environment.

The agreement commits ASHRAE and IAQA to working together in the areas of consistent leadership communication, chapter collaboration, advocacy, technical activities coordination and research.

“As professionals responsible for environmental control of buildings and transportation systems, our first priority must be making those environments safe, healthy, productive and comfortable,” ASHRAE President William ‘Bill’ Bahnfleth said.

“This partnership between ASHRAE, a worldwide organisation with a scope to broadly promote the arts and science of HVAC&R and allied arts and science for the benefit of the general public, and IAQA, an organisation focused on services to ensure good indoor air quality, will enhance the ability of both to achieve their shared goals. We welcome the opportunity to combine the resources of ASHRAE with the expertise of IAQA to strengthen our effectiveness in this critical area.”
