Funder intelligence
Given the evolving landscape of the built environment, ASHRAE FDN is likely increasing its focus on decarbonization of buildings, climate change adaptation, and the integration of smart building technologies. Their funding primarily supports research institutions and universities engaged in advancing HVAC&R science and engineering, with a broad geographic scope given their national/international professional society affiliation.
Like many private foundations, ASHRAE FDN likely encourages relationship-building and may require a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) before a full proposal. They typically fund specific research calls or proposals aligned with their mission, as evidenced by the '1 opportunity discovered'.
