What is Research Promotion?

Research Promotion (RP) is the fundraising arm of ASHRAE. Without the generous support of our many donors, publications like the ASHRAE Standards and ASHRAE Handbook series would not be possible. Check out this link for more information everything related to ASHRAE research http://www.ashrae.org/technology/page/39

You can also download this brochure that gives a summary of the research promotion program (PDF File).

How Can I Participate?

Last year, the Idaho Chapter had 32 different donors contribute over $10,800 for the benefit of ASHRAE Research! The easiest way to make your gift is to visit www.ashrae.org/contribute and use your credit or debit card. If you need assistance with the forms, email me at scottm@engineeringinc.com and I will be delighted to help you. ASHRAE has tried to make it as simple as possible to give. You can even have your credit card charged on a monthly basis if that’s what works best for you. Alternatively, just contact me and we will work together to get your donation recorded.

Remember that all contributions to ASHRAE Research are fully tax deductible.
