ISHRAE Technical Committee (ITC) is a standing committee of the Society consisting of members in good standing with a strong technical background from companies, institutions or individuals, who are willing to devote time and drive technical development in the Society. The primary mandate of ITC is to act as a catalyst for technical development by publishing new technical guidebooks, handbooks, codes and standards, updating existing publications and promoting research by providing funding for applied research projects.

Rising incomes, urbanization, and a warming planet are going to drive unprecedented growth in demand for comfort cooling from 1.2 billion room air conditioners (RACs) today, to over 4.5 billion by 2050. If we fail to innovate today, this growth in cooling demand will significantly exacerbate our climate crisis, while also placing a massive burden on the electricity grids and the consumers. Under a business-as-usual scenario, RACs alone could add about 132 GT of CO2-equivalent (CO2e) emissions cumulatively between now and 2050, resulting in over 0.5°C of global warming by the year 2100, leaving millions of people exposed to potentially dangerous heat conditions without an affordable and sustainable cooling solution.
