ASHRAE HOUSTON YEA CHAPTER

The Young Engineers of ASHRAE has become a very successful group over the past 2 years for the Houston Chapter.  The YEA group was formed to enhance member benefits for young professional ASHRAE members by giving them the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the industry, as well as socialize and network with other young professionals in the industry. 

Once a month, the members of YEA meet for lunch or happy hour.  During these meetings members are able to talk with their fellow young professionals, meet new young professionals in the industry, as well as discuss the current happenings in the industry.   These meetings are a great way for members to learn as well as teach others what they have learned about the industry. 

YEA also offers a few larger events each year.  Lunch-and-learn events happen a few times a year in which different companies lecture and give tours of their facility and products, providing a better hands-on understanding.  Our biggest event each year is our annual St. Arnold’s Brewery Refrigeration Tour and Taste event which happens in late spring.  This is a fun event in which members are able to tour the refrigeration system in the brewery in order to learn more about its functions and how it works.

YEA is always welcoming new young professionals in the HVAC industry to join.  If you are interested in joining or know anyone who may be interested in joining, please contact Christine Porterfield at 713-782-2701 or christinep@recohvac.com.
