Do you want to know about the latest technological advancement in buildings ? If so, come and join us for a great seminar and product show at MIT Sloan School of Business, Tang Center (Bldg. E51), Wong Auditorium, Cambridge, MA. We believe that it is one of those seminars that you do not want to miss. Join us & have FUN !

Purpose : The main purpose of the seminar is to provide continuing education for ASHRAE members and non-members in the HVAC community on the topics of current and future building controls technologies, while at the same time providing modest support in raising funds for ASHRAE Research. In keeping with Mr. George Jackins’ presidential theme, ASHRAE Region I (Research Promotion Committee) introduces this event as a fund-raising program that touches the three essential points: Learning, Unity and Visibility. We ask you to invite your colleagues, friends, & other professionals from ASME, AIA, IEEE, BOMA, IFMA, ASCE, RSES, IIR, etc.
