ASHRAE Standard 55 Thermal Environmental
Conditions for Human Occupancy: The Fundamentals
Based on the instructor’s over 15 years of
publically polling industry, surveys reveal only 1.5% of
industry is capable of using of one of ASHRAE’s oldest and
most powerful standards to its fullest potential. Such
illiteracy explains in part why post occupancy surveys
repeatedly show dissatisfaction. As design professionals we
would never tolerate such low understanding from an
accountant, lawyer or physician. Participation in this
course will equip members with an understanding of the
fundamentals in ASHRAE Standard 55 and how these should be
applied in the design and operation of buildings. It is not
required but recommended that members participate in Course
1 prior to this course.
