ASHRAE Miami’s Technical Lunch on ASHRAE Standars 15 was held on February 10th, 2026, at 12pm, at the 94th Aero Squadron in Miami.

The Guest Speaker was Douglas T. Reindl, Ph.D., P.E. – Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who spoke about Standard 15 and 34 (Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems) which is one of ASHRAE’s oldest standards dating back to 1919. The purpose of Standard 15 is to specify safe design, construction, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems.

All engineers that work with building mechanical systems should have a basic understanding of this Standard and for those engineers that work closely with refrigeration or chilling systems must have a deeper understanding of this standard and its requirements. This presentation provided a review of Standard 15 and highlight recent changes to the standard. Common misapplications of the standard were also presented and discussed.
