The ASHRAE Student Design Project Competition promotes the study of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) by challenging students to solve a real-world design problem. The competition has three categories: HVAC Design Calculations, HVAC System Selection, and Integrated Sustainable Building Design (ISBD).
