Year Being a Chapter
The ASHRAE Ghana Chapter began as a section under the Nigeria Chapter, serving as a hub for Ghanaian HVAC&R professionals. Growing membership and influence highlighted the need for a dedicated chapter to address Ghana’s unique challenges.
In November 2023, the section achieved a historic milestone, becoming an official chapter. This transition empowered the group to focus on initiatives tailored to Ghana’s needs, such as energy efficiency, sustainability, and professional development.
We are proud to advance HVAC&R excellence in Ghana, fostering innovation, sustainability, and professional growth.
