ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The Society and its more than 56,000 members worldwide focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability. Through research, standards writing, publishing, certification and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today. The ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter was founded in 1984 and is one of the large Chapters in ASHRAE. There are thirteen regions and one region-at-large in ASHRAE over the world. The Hong Kong Chapter is within the Region XIII which is the first Far East region out of the States The vision of ASHRAE is to promote “Technology for a Better Environment” and to be the international organization on technology development in the Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning. The Hong Kong Chapter follows the global vision of ASHRAE that provides different technical seminars and workshops to let members globally broaden their knowledge to suit the Society’s needs. In 2012, as part of a rebranding, ASHRAE began doing business as “ASHRAE” vs. using its full legal name of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Use of ASHRAE reflects the Society’s worldwide membership and that services will continue evolving globally. Therefore, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Hong Kong Chapter was also rebranded as ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter.
