ASHRAE has announced the installation of its 2025–26 Society president and newly elected officers and directors during the 2025 Annual Conference held in Phoenix.

Bill McQuade, P.E., CDP, Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP, will serve as the Society president for the 2025–26 term. In his inaugural address, McQuade introduced the presidential theme “Healthy Buildings: Designing For Life,” focusing on the role of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in reducing environmental impacts while promoting healthier communities. McQuade is vice president for government affairs and global sustainability at Baltimore Aircoil Company Inc. in Jessup, Maryland.

Elected officers serving one-year terms include Sarah E. Maston, P.E., as President-Elect and Ashish Rakheja, B.E., M.Tech, as Treasurer. ASHRAE also named two Vice Presidents for two-year terms: Trenton S. Hunt and Andres J. Sepulveda, P.E.

The newly introduced Directors-at-Large are Steve Kujak, Daniel H. Nall, P.E., and Michael A. Pouchak, P.E.

“Providing safe, stable, and sustainable shelter is not just a basic human need, it is a fundamental pillar of societal advancement and long-term development,” said McQuade during his address.
