A Message From The Director & Regional Chair:
"ASHRAE Region XIV was established in 2017 with six Chapters serving members in fewer than a dozen European countries. Since then, our Region has grown significantly and, today, with 11 Chapters and 7 Sections, it reaches ASHRAE members across most of Europe. As we approach our 10th anniversary in 2027, the time has come to build on this growth, strengthen our connections, and consolidate Region XIV as a truly European ASHRAE community.
ASHRAE is a global professional society committed to advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. Today, one of our greatest challenges is the decarbonization of buildings and the transition toward Global Net Zero, ambitions that are strongly aligned with Europe’s own climate and energy goals. Region XIV has an important role to play in bringing ASHRAE’s knowledge, standards, guidance and technical resources closer to European professionals and helping turn these ambitions into practical solutions.
But we cannot achieve this alone. Over the coming years, one of our priorities will be to strengthen collaboration with national and European professional societies and organizations across the many disciplines that shape our built environment. By connecting HVAC professionals with architects, engineers, installers, builders, commissioning providers, facility managers and other stakeholders, we can share knowledge, learn from one another and amplify our collective impact.
If you are already an ASHRAE member, I encourage you to connect, participate and become actively involved in your local Chapter or Section and in our European Region XIV.
If you are a building-industry professional and you are not yet an ASHRAE member, come and meet us. Join one of our Chapter or Regional activities and discover our community, our technical resources and what we can accomplish together. You will always be welcome.
The challenges ahead are significant, but so is the opportunity to make a difference. Together, across countries, professions and organizations, Region XIV can contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable built environment and to achieving Global Net Zero.
I look forward to working with all of you as we continue to strengthen ASHRAE Region XIV and shape the future together."
Proudly serving over 2,000 members across 11 Chapters and 7 Sections!
