Young Engineers in ASHRAE

Join ASHRAE

Membership Application Forms

General Information

Membership in ASHRAE – the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers – is open to any person associated with heating, ventilation, air conditioning or refrigeration through such disciplines as indoor air quality and energy conservation, for example. Membership in ASHRAE allows access to state-of-the-art HVAC&R technology and provides many opportunities to participate in the development of that technology.

Student Membership

Student Members are sponsored by full-grade Members or Associate Members. The student must be studying orhave an interest in an HVAC&R industry-related field. An individual eligible for ASHRAE student membership will be matriculated in an approved course of study in a university, college, junior college, or technical institute and who is being educated in the arts and sciences covered by the Society's objectives. Student status terminates one year after the student has left school or has graduated. A student may advance from student to regular member status during the first year following graduation without paying the $165.00 dues fee at the time of application. An application form must be completed and returned to ASHRAE (Student Upgrade Membership Application).

Questions about Membership

ASHRAE membership is open to any person associated with heating, ventilation, air conditioning or refrigeration. ASHRAE is unique because its membership is drawn from a wide range of disciplines relating to the HVAC&R field. Approximately 50,000 individuals from more than 100 nations belong to the Society. Among them are students, consulting engineers, mechanical contractors, building owners, and employees of manufacturing companies, educational institutions, research organizations, government or any organization concerned with environmental control. Members range from students to longtime engineers and professionals in other related disciplines such as architecture and medical research.
