Current 2022–2023 ASHRAE President Farooq Mehboob is spotlighted in this episode, which was recorded live at the 2023 AHR Expo in Atlanta, Ga. This interview covers Farooq’s rich life experience as a building science engineer and consultant, which started in his native country of Pakistan in the 70s­—a time of great civil and political unrest—and also speaks to pressing industry trends like decarbonization, AI in building systems, and the important groundwork accomplished at COP27 in Egypt last year. Co-hosted by ASHRAE Journal Managing Editor Kelly Barraza and Assistant Editor Kaitlyn Baich.

The impact of engineering on humanity cannot be overstated. We speak with two engineers who with a group of partners on the ground in Peru created a system to heat the homes of people who live high in the Andean regions of Peru. These residents face severe cold temperatures during the winter, so for them, this work is not about the engineering involved, but rather it is a matter of survival.

You’re only out of school a few years and you’re excited to join the HVAC&R industry: Great jobs, great profession, great community, good money. But when you break into the industry, you discover that—in many cases—you’d be among the youngest in the company, let alone in the room. Turn off or great opportunity? Join Elizabeth Primeau, Associate Member ASHRAE; and Niss Feiner, C.E.T., CHD, Student Branch Advisor Member ASHRAE, in a conversation with ASHRAE Journal Assistant Editor Kaitlyn Baich on why being young can be a good thing in a traditionally older industry.
