ASHRAE Unveils Redesigned Web Site
With a focus on ease-of-navigation and new technology, the American Society
of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has unveiled
its
redesigned Web site, www.ASHRAE.org.
An improved web site is a corner stone of fulfilling the Society’s new
Strategic Plan, which calls for sustainability leadership, world-class educational
programs, a raised public profile, and global access to technical information.
A refined Google-powered search engine has been added, and site visitors will
benefit from the site’s 100% uptime and increased speed. The new simpler
design incorporates a technology that will integrate with the new member database
that goes live this fall, allowing members to easily access subscription management
tools for eLists and newsletters, and account history for events, purchases,
and dues.
“The ASHRAE web site is the key component of the Society’s strategy
to provide membership service and technical information to the industry,” says
Steve Comstock, director of publications and education. “With the new
technology incorporated into the site, our members and key audiences will be
able to access
crucial information faster and with greater ease.”
Upon logging into the site, members will have access to the MyASHRAE section
where they will be able to use the site to reflect their specific interests.
Members can sign up for e-mail updates when updated content has been added
to a particular section, and a lost password function allows users to quickly
retrieve
forgotten passwords.
The simplified site navigation is now broken into six, tabbed sections:
• Members (formerly Membership)
• Publications (formerly Education and Publications)
• Technology (formerly Technology and Standards)
• Education (formerly Education and Publications)
• Events (formerly Meetings and Events), and
• Students (formerly Student Zone)
Content from the previous site’s About Us section now occupies a position
at the top left of ASHRAE.org under a new About Us section.
The upgraded site will also include a redesigned bookstore upon
the section’s
completion in December.
