A Historical Perspective
What are computer applications for ASHRAE?  The answer changes continuously with time so our charge as a technical committee keeps evolving.  The Emerging Computer Applications technical committee was "founded" by a group of people who saw computer technology as increasingly important to the future of our industry.  The committee has been very active in organizing parts of the ASHRAE program and championing research projects.  Our success as a technical committee is evidenced by ASHRAE staff and other committees asking how computer applications can aid them.  The technical committee focuses on the needs of ASHRAE members while still promoting a visionary view of the future of computing in the HVAC&R professions, a viewpoint that can only help our industry.
