ASHRAE Global Headquarters

McLennan Design, in partnership with Houser Walker Architecture and in collaboration with Integral Group, is leading the design of a new headquarters for ASHRAE, the professional association of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigerating engineers, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The design team is tasked with renovating to Net-Zero Energy performance levels a 69,000 sf office building built in the 1970s. ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a not-for-profit global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. ASHRAE funds research projects, provides continuing education programs, and develops technical standards for the advancement of HVAC&R systems design and construction with over 56,000 members worldwide. The renovation will serve as benchmark for deep energy efficiency retrofits and provide a healthy, biophilic, and productive work environment for ASHRAE’s employees and the volunteer committees that serve the industry.
