ACCA’s standards program focuses on the creation and maintenance of national standards that support the indoor environment, commercial refrigeration applications, and energy efficiency. ACCA standards promote comfortable, safe, and energy efficient buildings and refrigeration applications by addressing the proper design, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment. Examples include ANSI/ACCA Manual J (residential load calculation), Manual S (residential equipment selection), and Manual D (residential duct systems).

In addition, the ACCA STT will be holding an in-person open meeting on Tuesday, March 17 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. PST at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada. The meeting will be held in conjunction with ACCA 2026, the association's annual meeting. If planning to attend please contact Kevin Powell at [email protected].
