The Ozarks Chapter of ASHRAE is a community of like minded professionals who come together to advance the art and science of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Based in Springfield, Missouri, our chapter serves the Ozarks and surrounding areas by creating a welcoming place for engineers, contractors, facility managers, educators, students, and industry partners to connect, learn, and support one another. We meet regularly to explore practical solutions and emerging ideas that improve building comfort, indoor air quality, energy performance, and long term reliability.
Throughout the year, the Ozarks Chapter hosts a variety of educational and networking opportunities designed to serve members at every stage of their career. Our programming often includes technical presentations, professional development sessions, and discussions that bridge design intent with real world operation. Members also engage through volunteer opportunities, leadership development, and collaborative activities that strengthen the local HVAC and building performance community. The chapter supports the next generation of professionals through student outreach and scholarship support, and we work to recognize excellence and service within the industry through ongoing chapter initiatives.
