ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today. ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.
In 2012, as part of a rebranding, ASHRAE began doing business as “ASHRAE” vs. using its full legal name of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Use of ASHRAE reflects the Society’s worldwide membership and that services will continue evolving globally.

Dr. Walid is an ASHRAE Fellow and has served on the Publication and Education council, CEC, and Planning committees. Ali AlMutairi from Kuwait Chapter served as the treasurer of the region from 2008-2011. He worked on setting the first financial policy for the region.
The Chapter has most recently worked with the Kuwait Government and adapted ASHRAE Standard 90.2 to develop the ASHRAE Standard for Energy efficiency for Residential Buildings for Kuwait. They have successfully hosted the 2009 RAL CRC. The Chapter annually hosts the International Conference on Energy Research & Development several years and organized a Forum on District Cooling with The Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences in March 2016. They are also active in arranging Technical Seminars and Conferences and training courses regularly.They have MOU with KSE & EPA. Engineer Anoop Peediayakkan from Kuwait chapter received the ASHRAE Developing Leader Award - 2021 during the winter conference held at USA.
