System Maintenance Notification - Saturday, September 26

As a part of ASHRAE's move to our new global Headquarters in October, we will be moving some of our web servers Saturday, September 26. During this time, ability to join or renew, access subscriptions or purchase content for which an ASHRAE login is required will be unavailable. Running chapter reports and entering or viewing information in ASHRAE's database will also be unavailable. We expect the downtime to be less than 24 hours.

ASHRAE's New Global Headquarters:
Transforming ASHRAE

Take a virtual tour of ASHRAE’s new HQ as it appears in late August 2020. The tour leads you step-by-step through all three levels and includes footage of some of the systems, work areas and provides a feel for the natural setting of the building’s site. View a longer virtual tour that takes you through the entire new HQ.

“We want this space to inspire visitors to participate and honor them for their volunteer service and commitment.”
– Jeff Littleton, ASHRAE Executive Vice President
