Recently, with the presenter's permission, ASHRAE has audio-recorded each seminar presentation along with the PowerPoint presentation. The synced audio/PowerPoint presentations were combined into video file and are available for purchase for viewing online and on DVD. These presentations are available for purchase at the ASHRAE Bookstore. If you wish to present a seminar presentation for any of our future seminar presentations, please feel free to send us an e-mail at tc0201@ashrae.net.
