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.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today.

  ASHRAE will be the global leader, the foremost source of technical and educational information, and the primary provider of opportunity for professional growth in the arts and sciences of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating. 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.
