Main Program

Building for People & Performance. Achieving Operational Excellence.

Presenter: 

Darryl K. Boyce

ASHRAE President 2019-2020

Achieving Operational Excellence

Excerpt - 

Why should we care about operational performance?

There are four reasons this message makes sense for us:

1. We own the buildings we design, build, commission or operate. “It’s my building.”
2. It aligns with our ASHRAE mission of “advancing human well-being.” I bet most of you think that the HR in ASHRAE stands for Heating and Refrigeration. However, it really stands for people, the human resource – the HR at the center of ASHRAE.
3. As a building owner-operator, I can assure you that the building operators need your help.
4. Reducing the environmental impact of building operations is good for the planet.
