The Value of ASHRAE Membership: Enhancing Knowledge and Service at Tec Inc.


At Tec Inc., we understand the importance of staying at the forefront of our industry. Our involvement with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is a testament to our commitment to professional development and delivering top-notch service to our clients.

 

At Tec Inc., 25% of our total engineering staff and half of our mechanical engineers are active ASHRAE members, part of our commitment to giving our team the tools they need to grow and succeed. Participation in ASHRAE offers our team valuable opportunities to learn about the latest industry standards, best practices, and technological advancements. Regular meetings provide a platform for engaging with industry speakers who share insights on topics ranging from refrigerant changes to updates on building codes. These sessions not only serve as continuing education but also help our staff stay informed about critical developments that can impact our projects.

 

One significant benefit of ASHRAE membership is access to an extensive library of resources, including technical books and guidelines that are integral to our daily tasks. These materials cover everything from HVAC fundamentals to application-specific insights, allowing our engineers to reference best practices and refresh their knowledge when tackling new challenges. For instance, our team frequently consults ASHRAE guidelines when designing complex systems for laboratories or healthcare facilities to ensure compliance and efficiency.

 

In addition to the technical knowledge gained, being part of the ASHRAE community fosters valuable connections. Our engineers have the opportunity to network with vendors and industry peers, which can lead to collaboration and resource-sharing when addressing project-specific challenges. The relationships built through ASHRAE create a support system that enhances our ability to provide quality service to our clients.

 

The impact of ASHRAE extends to our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. As industry standards evolve, ASHRAE provides our team with the latest information on energy-efficient practices and emerging technologies. By adhering to these guidelines, we not only meet client expectations but also contribute to the creation of greener, more sustainable buildings. Adopting ASHRAE standards in local codes reinforces our mission to prioritize energy conservation and environmental stewardship in every project.
