Pakistan HVACR Society

What Pakistan HVACR Society does

Pakistan HVACR Society (legally, Pakistan Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Society) is a non-profit professional association founded in 1993 and headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan. It operates as the sole representative body for the HVACR industry in the country, serving approximately 3,000 members including engineers, industrialists, consultants, importers, vendors, and engineering students. The organization delivers value through tiered membership programs (Student at Rs. 500/year, Professional at Rs. 1,000/year, and historically Lifetime at Rs. 5,200), technical publications (Pakistan HVACR Journal and monthly e-newsletters), and an annual HVACR International Expo & Conference that, in 2025, reached its 30th edition.

The society operates a four-chapter physical network across Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and Faisalabad, providing regional service delivery and an elected governance structure (Executive Council, Advisory Council, and Local Councils) with rotating two-year presidential terms. Revenue is generated from three primary streams: recurring membership fees, the annual expo (booth rentals, registration, and sponsorships), and advertising tariffs in society publications. International affiliations with ASHRAE (via the ASHRAE Pakistan National Committee) and ISHRAE provide members with access to global HVACR technical resources, standards, and query-resolution channels.

Digital infrastructure is limited to administrative tools: a membership e-portal for search and registration, a Digital Election Portal for governance, and an 'I am Technical' resource platform currently flagged as under maintenance. The society maintains active social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube for member engagement and event promotion, and has formal bylaws, a code of ethics, and structured election processes that confer institutional legitimacy. A past president, Mr. Farooq Mehboob, received the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz (Pride of Performance) civil award from the Government of Pakistan for contributions to the HVACR industry, signaling high-level recognition of the society's standing.

Broad incumbents

• SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association): SMACNA is a US trade association representing sheet metal and HVAC contractors. It parallels the society's role in industry representation, technical standards, and contractor professional development within the HVAC sector.
• CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers): CIBSE is the UK-based professional body for building services engineers covering HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems. While broader in scope, CIBSE parallels the society's role in setting professional standards, providing training, and certifying building services engineers.

Direct peers

• ASHRAE: ASHRAE is the global standard-setting society for heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning, serving as the international counterpart with which Pakistan HVACR Society maintains a formal affiliation. Both operate membership-based professional societies serving HVACR engineers, conducting conferences, publishing technical resources, and offering training.
• ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America): ACCA is the leading US trade association for HVAC contractors and professionals, offering training, certification, and industry events. It closely mirrors the society's mission of serving HVACR contractors and engineers through professional development and industry representation.
• ISHRAE (Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers): ISHRAE is the Indian counterpart professional society for HVACR engineers and practitioners. Pakistan HVACR Society maintains a direct affiliation through which members query Ishrae HQ, indicating identical operational model of chapters, conferences, and certification in the same regional market.

Regional players

• EHPA (European Heat Pump Association): EHPA represents the European heat pump industry, with a similar association model promoting technology adoption, training, and policy advocacy. While focused on heat pumps rather than the full HVACR spectrum, it mirrors the society's role in advancing specific HVAC technologies.
• REHVA (Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations): REHVA is the umbrella federation of European HVAC industry associations. While operating across Europe rather than Pakistan, it parallels the society's role as a coordinating body for national HVAC industry stakeholders and standards dissemination.

Emerging players

• IIAR (International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration): IIAR is an international industry association focused specifically on ammonia refrigeration. While narrower in scope (refrigeration only), it serves a similar function as the society's refrigeration segment—providing technical standards, training, and conferences for refrigeration professionals.
