ASHRAE, IAQA TO JOIN FORCES TO GROW RESOURCES FOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY PROFESSIONALS

摘要

ASHRAE and the Indoor Air Quality Association have agreed in principle to join forces, combining resources to improve indoor air quality in the built environment. Pending a three to six month period of due diligence, IAQA will become a part of the ASHRAE organization while maintaining its own brand and board of directors. IAQA will operate independently within ASHRAE's organizational structure. Plans call for IAQA headquarters to relocate from Rockville, Md., to Atlanta, Ga., home of ASHRAE's international headquarters. The agreement was reached between the leadership of both associations and confirmed at ASHRAE's 2014 Annual Conference that concluded earlier this month in Seattle, Wash.
