Published since 1895, ASHRAE Transactions is the official record of research and technical information of permanent interest and archival value presented at ASHRAE's Annual and Winter Conferences, the world's foremost forums for the presentation of research and application data and experience in the fields of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration and the field of building technology in general.

ASHRAE Transactions papers are reviewed by competent specialists to ensure high quality of content. They undergo one or more double-blind reviews by three or more reviewers, and they are published with discussion questions and answers. They encompass the wide range of technologies and applications of interest to researchers and practitioners whose work shapes the built environment.

ASHRAE Transactions is cited/indexed in: Cengage Gale's Academic OneFile, InfoTrac, and Small Business Collection; Elsevier's Ei Engineering Village's Ei Compendex and Engineering Index; International Institute of Refrigeration's FRIDOC; ProQuest Technology Research Database's Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) Materials Research Database with METADEX, CSA Engineering Research Database, and CSA High Technology Research Database with Aerospace; Elsevier's Scopus and Compendex; and Thomson Reuters (formerly Institute for Scientific Information) Web of Science's Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and Index of Scientific and Technical Proceedings.

Paper topics include indoor air quality, refrigeration, building controls, sustainability, applications of heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration technology, and more.

Included in this collection are the 44 technical papers presented at the 2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Also included are a State of the Society Address delivered by the current ASHRAE, as well as the technical program from the conference and other official Society information.
