In order to meet the goals outlined in ASHRAE's Vision Statement, the following areas for Foundation support were identified which will need significant investment from the public, Society members, and the HVAC&R industry:
•Continuing HVAC&R training and educational programs through
out ASHRAE. • HVAC&R career development and mentoring opportunities for
science and engineering students. • Recognition for leadership and development efforts in the fields of HVAC&R. • Public awareness and continued development of HVAC&R standards and guidelines. • Advancement of membership resource and reference material. • Support of research projects not funded by the Society's annual Research Promotion campaign that require long-term, on-going financial resources.
Support for these endeavors will benefit the general public by enhancing the products and services offered by the HVAC&R industry which contributes to the improvement of society's standard of living.
