About the ASHRAE Learning Institute

Today's environmental issues demand highly skilled employees who understand the new technologies revolutionizing the HVAC&R industry and are equipped to apply the sound engineering practices and principles that have evolved over the past 50 years. The ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) addresses the growing educational needs of the HVAC&R industry.

The ASHRAE Learning Institute is not a building or a structure of bricks and mortar. Rather, ALI is built upon an educational and training foundation laid by the HVAC&R industry's leading educators and practitioners. In order to meet the needs of the engineer in this current "information age" the Institute draws upon the worldwide resources of ASHRAE, the industry's source for research, standards and reference publications.

The ASHRAE Learning Institute plans to utilize advanced information technologies, along with traditional instructor-based and self-directed studies, to reshape the process by which ASHRAE members and young graduates keep pace with the engineering demands of the 21st Century.

By drawing on the experiences of ASHRAE's 50,000 members worldwide and the more than 2,000 leading practitioners who serve on ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees, the ASHRAE Learning Institute trains engineers to make immediate contributions to their employers.
