    The Vision: ASHRAE’s Mission is to serve humanity by advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and their allied fields. ASHRAE executes this mission through their membership and their connections with volunteers across the built-environment industry. ASHRAE’s members make up their core customer base for the technical materials it develops; thus, the way ASHRAE serves its members must evolve on the pathway to 2030 as the industry evolves. The Member Services subgroup of the Vision 2030 ad-hoc analyzed how ASHRAE should serve its membership over the next decade including what it should continue to do, what it does currently that should change and what it should stop doing to serve its members most effectively.
