About the author
John Murphy, Applications Engineer

John has been with Trane since 1993. His primary responsibility as an applications engineer is to aid system design engineers and Trane sales personnel in the proper design and application of HVAC systems. His primary areas of expertise include energy efficiency, dehumidification, air-to-air energy recovery, psychrometry, ventilation, dedicated outdoor-air systems, VAV systems, and ASHRAE Standards 62.1 and 90.1. He is the author of numerous Trane application manuals and Engineers Newsletters and is a frequent presenter on Trane’s Engineers Newsletter Live program series.

John is ASHRAE Fellow and past chair of that society’s “Mechanical Dehumidifiers” technical committee. He has authored many articles for the ASHRAE Journal and was a featured presenter on ASHRAE’s international webcast, “Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems.”

As always, the upcoming ASHRAE® Winter Conference includes a full slate of technical seminars covering a wide range of topics that are likely of interest to you. These sessions are intended to educate on the latest industry trends, explain results of recently-completed industry research, and share best practices from fellow industry professionals. And in many cases, you can earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs) to help meet the continuing education requirements of your professional engineer license or other certification.

Whether you are attending the conference in person or participating virtually online, following is the list of Trane associates who will be presenting at the upcoming ASHRAE Winter Conference.
