Who We Are:
ASHRAE®, the American Society
of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, is an international
organization of 50,000 persons with chapters throughout the world. The
Society is organized for the sole purpose of advancing the arts and sciences
of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration for the public's
benefit through research, standards writing, continuing education and publications.
Through its membership, ASHRAE writes standards that set uniform methods
of testing and rating equipment and establish accepted practices for the
HVAC&R industry worldwide, such as the design of energy efficient buildings.
The Society's research program, currently more than 100 research projects
worth nearly $8 million, investigates numerous issues, such as identifying
new refrigerants that are environmentally safe. ASHRAE organizes broad-based
technical programs for presentation at it's semi-annual meetings and co-sponsors
the international Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Exposition,
the largest HVAC&R trade show in North America. ASHRAE Region III is
located in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States of America and
is comprised of design professionals and students in the H.V.A.C.&
