After Singapore, more overseas Chapters have been chartered in Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates (but subsequently dissolved), Malaysia, Taiwan, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Western India and the latest addition Kuwait. However, SAAM, as the first International Chapter, will always have to strive and maintain high performance and to continue to improving organised activities and meeting attendance and raising money for ASHRAE Research Fund.
As we step into the 2025-2026 term, we are guided by the Society theme,
“Healthy Buildings: Designing for Life.” Buildings today must be more
than functional enclosures – they must support health, well-being, and
community resilience.
Professionally, my journey revolves around digital twins and Al-enabled
solutions in the built environment. With real-time data integration and
predictive analytics, digital twins allow us to visualize, simulate, and
optimize building operations, driving energy efficiency, occupant comfort,
and healthier environments. Al is unlocking new frontiers – from intelligent
HVAC control to autonomous diagnostics – making smart, sustainable
buildings a reality.
In this term, ASHRAE Singapore Chapter will champion this transformation.
We aim to:
• Promote awareness of health-centric design and smart systems;
• Empower young professionals and students with emerging technologies;
• Collaborate regionally to share best practices and innovations.
Together, let us design for life – buildings that not only protect but uplift the
people they serve.
Warm regards,

Mr Srimannarayana Vamsi Krishna Nallani Chakravarthula
