ASHRAE & THE ITE-ASHRAE STUDENT BRANCH

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is the world's foremost technical society in the fields of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration.

Its members are individuals who share ideas, identify the need for research and support it. Members also write the industry's standards for testing and practice. The result of these efforts is that engineers are better equipped to keep indoor environments safe and productive while protecting and preserving the outdoors for generations to come.

ASHRAE's works rest on a foundation built by thousands of volunteers assisted by a professional staff. These volunteers set standards for design and testing. They identify the need for fund and monitor research to improve equipment and system performance. Through its publications and educational programmes, ASHRAE promotes the appropriate use of new technologies. ASHRAE serves as industry's most authoritative voice on technical issues in the public and private sectors, at national and international levels.

The purpose of an ITE-ASHRAE Student Branch is to get students interested, concerned and involved in pursuing a career in the field of heating, ventilation, refrigeration and air-conditioning. Student membership in ASHRAE and involvement in a student branch can be a good beginning towards meeting this goal.
