In response to the devasting wildfires in Southern California, ASHRAE is providing free public access to a read only version of the new ASHRAE Guideline 44-2024, Protecting Building Occupants From Smoke During Wildfire and Prescribed Burn Events (https://bit.ly/4gUL8hF), available until Feb. 11, 2025. This Guideline offers vital tips for creating safer, healthier indoor environments during and after fire events. Additionally, ASHRAE Journal podcast episode “Where There’s Smoke, There’s HVAC” (https://bit.ly/44RPRKn) explores the impacts of wildfire smoke on buildings, people and public health. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy and we hope that the resources and expertise of the ASHRAE community can provide meaningful support in the recovery process.
