Many unanswered questions exist pertaining to high-availability operation of liquid-cooled IT equipment. Join host Justin Seter with guests David Quirk, Dustin Demetriou and Tom Davidson as they discuss the ins and outs of liquid cooling in data centers.

Join guests Amr Suliman and Marina Topouzi and ASHRAE Journal Managing Editor Kelly Barraza for this episode on occupancy in the built environment. This slice on building occupancy covers ventilation, indoor environmental quality, resilience, harnessing data on occupant behavior and how building efficiency and indoor conditions can be improved for a healthier, optimized built environment.

The College of Fellows of ASHRAE is composed of society members who have been awarded the Membership Grade of Fellow and serve as ambassadors both within and outside of ASHRAE. In order to qualify, you must be a full member in good standing for 10 years and have demonstrable contributions to the field of HVAC. Join Fellows Tom Lawrence, Mike Pouchak and Filza Walters as they discuss the formation of the College of Fellows, what it does to support ASHRAE and how to become a Fellow.

Machine learning (ML) is one of the defining technologies of our era, yet its application to HVAC controls is still in its infancy. Join ASHRAE Journal Managing Editor Kelly Barraza and Michael Berger, Member ASHRAE, as they discuss the use of ML in HVAC and how the technology can potentially optimize HVAC operations to reduce energy consumption.

Join Journal Editor Drew Champlin and Kelley Cramm, P.E., Life Member ASHRAE, as they discuss how HVAC factors into code requirements for elevators, the shift to machine room-less elevators and architectural coordination.
