AHRI recently participated in a survey and conference sponsored by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on green buildings and green growth. APEC’s Subcommittee on Standards and Conformance planned and organised the two-part project (survey and conference) to support several energy efficiency, sustainability, and conservation priorities and initiatives established within APEC. AHRI said that its participation focused on the use of specific standards and codes for the use of green building technologies and practices in commercial buildings.

At the conference, results of a survey co-sponsored by AHRI, the Aluminum Association, the International Code Council, and IAPMO were presented.
