Grassroots Government Advocacy Committee

A summary of the important work that we do in the GGAC:

• Establish and manage relationships between the chapter and government bodies such as ECSA and CESA.
• Establish CPD recognition of ASHRAE courses via the above bodies.
• Partner with technical universities for grassroots programmes to develop future engineers in HVAC&R.
• Make the chapter known to the Council for the Built Environment, as a potential advisor to government on priority matters in the built environment.
• Pursue public policy priorities:
• Adoption of commissioning standards for all new buildings.
• Adoption of ASHRAE codes and standards such as 90.1 & AEDG.
