The theme for the year is CRUISE:

- Involve members in TCs, Research & other tech activities at chapter & Society level
- Strategise initiatives for chapter sustainability
- Engage Govt & Other Societies to meet ASHRAE objectives
The last SY has taken the activities at a rocket speed pace and we were just short of doubling our membership and the presidential awards of excellence (PAOE) points tally. So in the new year, the team pledges to cruise steadily till we achieve the last set heights and then accelerate the growth sustainably.
We all look forward to your support as members and if you are a non member looking forward to be associated with ASHRAE, we are just a call or email away. Do join hands with us to make the society and environment safe and smart.

History of Mumbai Chapter
The idea of constituting the ASHRAE Mumbai Chapter rose out of the need to effectively administer the operation of chapters. In the years 2008-09 it was felt that as a result of an increase in the number of members and the vastness of the ambit of ASHRAE Western India chapter (which was formed in 1996 and consisted of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa), there was scope for it to be split into more manageable entities.
Members from ASHRAE Western India chapter who stayed/worked in Mumbai and its surrounding areas opted to be part of the new chapter. Large part of this initiative to obtain the signatures on the petition for forming the Mumbai chapter was by the then ASHRAE WI President Mr Manoj Khati and the SRC Mr Sudhir Sinha.
As a result ASHRAE Mumbai came into existence along with ASHRAE Pune. Members from Goa chose to remain with Mumbai. ASHRAE Mumbai – Covers Membership in the Greater Mumbai Region, Thane, Raigad and the State of Goa. Major Cities include Mumbai, Vashi, Panvel, Thane, Kalyan, Dombivili, Tarapur, Ulhasnagar,Vasai, Panjim, Mapusa, Dabolim, Ponda, Vasco and Margao.
The ASHRAE Mumbai constitution was approved by the ASHRAE Board meeting at Atlanta and chartered by the ASHRAE President Gordon Holness on 25th January 2010. The first BOG meeting was held on 29th May 2010 during which the constitution and byelaws of the chapter were passed and adopted. The chapter was formally installed on 21st June 2010 at Hotel Attithi, Mumbai by Mr Sudhir Sinha, Chair Sub Region ‘D’, ASHRAE Region at Large. He administered the oath of office to the first President of ASHRAE Mumbai- Mr. M. P. Agarwal.
