Click here to purchase

In keeping with the celebration of ASHRAE’s 50th anniversary, the Journal is including an adapted article from Proclaiming the Truth. The consolidation of ASHAE and ASRE had been considered as early as the 1920s. Then on Dec. 1, 1958 the two societies, in separate meetings, voted for the merger. There were many arguments for and against the merger, however, ASHAE President Elmer Queer said in 1958, “†The merged society should be better able to sustain full and unquestioned leadership in covering professional engineering in matters in refrigeration, heating, air conditioning and ventilation.”
