ASHRAE: American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers ❄️

Who They Are & What They Create

ASHRAE is a global professional society that creates standards and guidelines for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R). Their standards are a primary resource for building design, construction, and operation, focusing on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability. Their most widely adopted standards include Standard 90.1 on energy efficiency and Standard 62.1 on ventilation.

Industries Supported

  • HVAC&R
  • Architecture & Building Design
  • Construction
  • Energy & Utilities
  • Building Management

Detailed History

ASHRAE was formed in 1959 by the merger of the American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) and the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE). Both organizations had been active since the late 19th century, developing standards and technical information for their respective fields. The merger created a single, powerful entity that has become the global authority on building technology. ASHRAE’s research and standards have played a pivotal role in the design of modern, energy-efficient, and healthy buildings.
