ASHRAE Membership Advantages
Membership in ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, is open to any person associated with heating, ventilation, air conditioning or refrigeration through such disciplines as indoor air quality and energy conservation, for example.
Membership in ASHRAE allows access to information about state-of-the-art HVAC&R technology and provides many opportunities to participate in the development of that technology. Participation is available locally, through chapters, and through membership on Society committees, such as standards projects committees, which are responsible for the development of standards, and technical committees which advise the Society on research needs, emerging technologies, and technical matters.
ASHRAE Chapters provide an opportunity for members to become involved in the Society at the local level. Members, who otherwise might not be able to participate, can further their knowledge of the industry, network with others in the same industry, mentor younger members and contribute to their community at large through Chapter programs.
