Past Presidents
ASHRAE New York City celebrates 110 years of history beginning with the formation of the New York City Chapter of the American Society of Heating and Ventilation Engineers (ASHVE) in 1911 to the creation of the New York City Chapter of the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) in 1917 to their merger into the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in 1958.
A long line of presidents have carried the torch for our chapter, the second oldest only behind Illinois, serving humanity by advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and their allied fields. Below is a list of every New York City chapter president of ASHRAE, ASHVE and ASRE.
Many more interesting anecdotes about our chapter can be found in the 'History Outline; ASHRAE New York City Chapter Centennial 1911 to 2011' created by Albert Weiss, PE. This document can be found on our website.
