About ASHRAE Singapore Chapter
Internationalisation of ASHRAE
After Singapore, more overseas Chapters have been chartered in Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates (but subsequently dissolved), Malaysia, Taiwan, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Western India and the latest addition Kuwait. However, SAAM, as the first International Chapter, will always have to strive and maintain high performance and to continue to improving organised activities and meeting attendance and raising money for ASHRAE Research Fund.
President’s Message
Dear ASHRAE members, Partners and Friends, it is an honour and privilege to be the 42 nd President of ASHRAE Singapore Chapter. I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and express my gratitude to every one of you for your support and commitment to our chapter.
The past year was a great year for ASHRAE Singapore Chapter. We organized Distinguished Lecturer (DL) events and collaborated with various technical associations for joint seminars. These events covered a wide range of topics, from decarbonization to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). The quality of the programs bear testament to the expertise and dedication of our members and speakers.
We have also actively engaged the young engineers in ASHRAE to develop and nurture them. The various talks and networking sessions organized for the young engineers in ASHRAE in the past year helped foster a sense of camaraderie and upscaled their knowledge.
As we look ahead, I am filled with optimism and excitement. The coming year holds immense potential for further advancements and opportunities. The society theme for the 2024/2025 term is “Empowering our workforce: Building a sustainable future”. This is reflective of the need to leverage on human capital to effect change.
With the climate crisis speeding towards critical thresholds, technological advancement and workforce expectations must keep up. Empowering our workforce is not merely a human resource initiative, but the cornerstone of creating a sustainable future for our businesses and communities.
In closing, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Board of Governors (BOG) led by Mr Praveen Hassan Chandrashekhar from the 2023-2024 term, for a job well done. It would not have been possible without their dedication and hard work. I look forward to leading the new BOG to even greater heights, and relish the support from ASHRAE Singapore Chapter members for our events.
Sincerely,
Mr Ivan Liew
President, ASHRAE Singapore Chapter 2024-2025
