Raising efficiency to new levels was the focus of the ASHRAE 2010 Annual Conference held in Albuquerque, N.M. Highlights of the meeting included ASHRAE’s receipt of Energy Star® for its Headquarters in Atlanta, celebration of the 35th anniversary of publication of the energy conservation standard now known as Standard 90.1 and an update on the ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient program.

Some 1,456 attendees took part in the conference held June 26-30 in Albuquerque.
