As a global technical society, ASHRAE's interests extend well beyond North America. This is especially true in the residential market, where ASHRAE has the opportunity both to influence and to learn from the international design community. This seminar discusses the application of ASHRAE residential standards and best practices in other regions of the world. It also summarizes various ways different countries are managing their unique challenges in residential construction and existing structures that may provide innovative options for North American designs. European, South American and Middle Eastern residential design practices and challenges are reviewed.
