Two senior management changes related to ASHRAE’s Technology Department have been announced.

Bruce Hunn, Ph.D., who has served as ASHRAE’s director of technology since 1997, has been named to a newly created position, director of strategic technical programs. Claire Ramspeck, who formerly served as assistant director of technology for standards and special projects, has been named director of technology.

“These changes allow for better support of ASHRAE resources as the demand for ASHRAE’s technical expertise and collaborative projects continues to grow,” said Jeff Littleton, ASHRAE executive vice president. “This will enhance ASHRAE’s efforts in key technical areas such as net-zero-energy policy and the advancement of our activities with other organizations in the building industry.”

As director of strategic technical programs, Hunn will oversee ASHRAE’s special projects, such as development of its Advanced Energy Design Guide series, the upcoming Advanced Indoor Air Quality guide and other documents that will provide design guidance to achieve net-zero-energy buildings.

Ramspeck will direct staff support of ASHRAE’s $3 million per year research program, its 90-plus technical committees and its 120-plus standards, as well as technical services.
