“Equity is the goal we strive to get to,” says ASHRAE Vice President Dunstan Macauley, P.E., HBDP, Member ASHRAE, in the latest episode of ASHRAE Journal Podcast. 

Regional Vice-Chair for the Young Engineers in ASHRAE Committee Carrie Anne Monplaisir, Associate Member ASHRAE; and Region X Director and Regional Chair Devin Abellon, P.E., Member ASHRAE, join Macauley and discuss how ASHRAE and the engineering industry can be more inclusive.  

The trio define diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) (1:37 ), explain what those terms do not mean (3:55 ) and share their personal experiences related to creating a more inclusive industry (8:55 ).

Then, Devin and Dunstan—members of the ASHRAE Board of Directors Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Subcommittee—and Carrie Ann dive into how ASHRAE and its committees could be more inclusive (14:00 ) and discuss how ASHRAE members can help increase the equitable distribution of all resources (8:30 ), including energy equity (30:45 ).
