American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers
The ASHRAE Oregon State University (OSU) Student Branch is a community of students (aka. future professionals) dedicated to serving humanity by advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and their allied fields. Our membership is primarily comprised of engineering students, but we also embrace other disciplines with the shared vision to create a healthy and sustainable built environment for all!
Through branch activities, we envision a more live-able built environment by understanding environmental system integration, codes/standards for healthy and sustainable buildings, and human comfort. We want to actively participate in networking and career opportunities that can help us shape our vision.
The ASHRAE OSU Student Branch activities and opportunities include speaker meetings, networking events, career and knowledge sessions, tours of local facilities, travel scholarships to the national ASHARE winter and annual conferences, collaborative events and tours by the ASHRAE Oregon Chapter, faculty mentors, student branch general meetings, etc.
About
ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today. ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.
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.
