What an ASHRAE chapter does
ASHRAE chapters are the local arm of the society. Members meet in their own region for technical programs, continuing education and networking with engineers, contractors, building operators and manufacturers' reps.
- Technical meetings
- Most chapters hold regular meetings during the program year with a technical presentation, often eligible for professional development hours.
- CTTC
- The Chapter Technology Transfer Committee runs local technical programs, seminars and the chapter's recognition of high-performance building projects.
- Student branches
- Chapters sponsor student branches at nearby engineering schools and support scholarships and career events.
- Research Promotion
- Chapters raise funds for ASHRAE research that feeds the society's standards and handbooks.
- Grassroots Government Activities
- Chapters track local building-code and energy-policy issues and connect members with policymakers.
- Certifications
- ASHRAE offers professional certifications such as BEMP, BCxP, HBDP, HFDP and OPMP; chapters often host review courses or exam-prep sessions.
