The Beginning
Organization and Charter
The Central Arizona Chapter of ASHRAE was chartered in October of 1953, when it was still known as the Arizona Chapter of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers (ASHVE). The name ASHVE was eventually changed to ASHRAE with the merger of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers with the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) in 1959.

So Much History!
History of the Chapter’s Gavel
The Chapter’s gavel, which has been used to call the Chapter meetings to order for over 50 years, has traditionally been passed down from the outgoing President to the incoming President.
The gavel was presented to the Chapter in 1953 by the West Texas Chapter. Back then, our chapter was still called the Arizona Chapter and was a part of ASHVE (American Society of Heating and Ventilation Engineers)
