History
Written in Chapter Year 2026-2027
As the Dallas ASHRAE Chapter celebrated its 87th year, the Historical Committee focused on honoring the chapter's legacy while inspiring current and future members to become active participants in ASHRAE. The committee worked to preserve the chapter history through interviews with Past Chapter Presidents, capturing their insights on the value of ASHRAE involvement and its positive impact on their careers. Through these efforts, the committee highlighted the importance of member engagement, supported the chapter's mission of serving the HVAC industry in North Texas, and strengthened connections between past achievements and future growth.
In support of the chapter's mission and the 2025-2026 ASHRAE vision of “A Healthy and Sustainable Built Environment for All,” the Dallas Chapter continued to provide valuable educational, networking, and fundraising opportunities throughout the year. Monthly dinner meetings featured informative presentations for members, while networking events such as YEA happy hours, refrigeration tours, and Women in ASHRAE events, fostered industry connections and engagement. The chapter also continued its commitment to ASHRAE Research Promotion through its semiannual golf tournaments, helping raise funds to support industry research and innovation.
Looking ahead, the Historical Committee hopes to establish an annual tradition of documenting the chapter's events, activities, meetings, achievements, and awards through a concise year-end summary. By capturing these milestones each year, the committee aims to create a more complete historical record, preserve the chapter's legacy, and provide future leaders and members with valuable insight into the growth and accomplishments of the Dallas ASHRAE Chapter.
