Why We Run
Bluegrass ASHRAE is the Lexington, Kentucky chapter of the American Society for Heating Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). ASHRAE is an international society of more than 50,000 heating, refrigerating and air-conditioning professionals from over 132 nations dedicated to serving humanity and promoting a sustainable world. Learn more at www.bluegrassashrae.org.
All proceeds from the run will go towards ASHRAE’s research promotion campaign. Since 1960, ASHRAE has sponsored research studies at universities and research firms. The results of these studies have been used to prepare chapters in the ASHRAE Handbook series: as foundational material in special publications: in the formulation of standards: to train university students as they prepare for service in the HVAC&R industry: and to spread the knowledge gained through presentation at Society Conferences and publication in ASHRAE Transactions or conference proceedings.
