ASHRAE and You

About the Presentation

This is an introduction to ASHRAE. What is it? Who is it for? Why should I care? ASHRAE is a big part of the local industry and a valuable resource for engineering students. ASHRAE stands for the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, and it is a global professional association seeking to advance heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems design and construction. Hear from local ASHRAE leaders, how ASHRAE has impacted their careers and how ASHRAE can help you in the HVAC&R industry.
