Welcome to the the Local Memphis Chapter of ASHRAE. Our membership includes engineers, architects, contractors, equipment vendors, manufacturers, consultants and others interested in designing and constructing building HVAC systems.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., founded in 1894, is an international nonprofit technical organization of 55,000 members that influence the direction of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) technology by creating industry standards and recommended procedures and guidelines, developing research and writing technical information.

  ASHRAE’s areas of expertise include energy efficiency, indoor air quality, codes and standards, and guidance for a safe environment during extraordinary incidents. Its sole objective is to advance through research standards writing and continuing education the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve the evolving needs of the public.

Membership in ASHRAE is open to any person associated with heating, ventilation, air conditioning or refrigeration.

Membership 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 this chapter, and at the national level through membership on ASHRAE Society committees which are responsible for the development of standards, or through technical committees which advise the Society on research needs and emerging technologies.

Our ASHRAE Chapter also provides an opportunity for members to become involved in the Society at the local level. Members who  might not be able to participate at the national level, 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.
