ASHRAE Houston Chapter

Thank you to everyone who joined us at last weeks Young Engineers in ASHRAE happy hour at Eureka Heights Brewing Company! It was a great evening filled with good brews, better company, and plenty of holiday cheer. We even got a visit from a future Young Engineer in ASHRAE 😍 #myashrae ❄️ A special shoutout to Aeroseal for sponsoring the event — your support sealed the deal for a night to remember!

The last Board of Governors meeting for the year is in the books! Every month our ASHRAE Houston Chapter officers and volunteers get together to discuss upcoming events and chapter business. This month we were lucky enough to meet in person at the Miracle at Winnie's pop-up, which added some appreciated holiday cheer to our meeting. This may be a low quality picture, but it's a high quality group of chapter members that keep our organization running! #myashrae If you're interested in getting involved with the Houston Chapter, please reach out to Nick Janssen to get plugged in for our 2025-2026 events!

This past Wednesday, your Women in ASHRAE Committee held our first event of the 2024-2025 season, a panel discussion titled “The Female Perspective: Women in STEM Leadership.” We had a great turnout and are already looking forward to the next one! We would like to extend our gratitude to our panelists, Lisa A. Osborne, PE, LEED-AP , Linda D. Lee DrPH, MBA, CIC, Dr. Katja Auer, EdD, MA, MBA, EDO, and Christy Troutman, for sharing their unique experiences and advice on how to navigate traditionally male-dominated industries. Their stories of personal adversities and professional triumphs were both engaging and inspiring. A special thank you to our generous sponsors, Page, S&S HVAC Equipment and ASHRAE Houston Chapter, for helping to keep our event free to our attendees! We also thank our moderator, Rachel Haines, for maintaining the momentum and guiding the conversations. #myashrae WiA Committee: Christy Troutman, Shelby Springs, MBA, Dr. Katja Auer, EdD, MA, MBA, EDO and Heather O’Kane
