On "ASHRAE Conference Puts Spotlight on Building Retrofits as Key to Decarbonization"
Retrofits aren't a strategy—they're a mandate now, and ASHRAE's betting the industry needs to figure out the economics before the regulations force the issue. For plumbers and HVAC shops, this means the retrofit wave is coming whether you prep for it or get buried in it: better insulation, heat pump swaps, hydronic system redesigns, decarbonization compliance audits. Show up to these conversations now and learn where the work is, or watch your commercial competitors position themselves while you're still chasing service calls.
