There are four membership categories that cover HVAC&R professionals, industry experienced, training in HVAC&R and supportive of the industry.
The grading process determines whether you will be recognised as a Member (M.IRHACE), Associate or Affiliate. Members may also be eligible for re-grading to the status of Fellow (F.IRHACE) or Life Member (LM.IRHACE) awarded by the IRHACE Council. Any member (M.IRHACE) or Fellow (F.IRHACE) who is no longer actively employed in the industry and wishing to remain in the Society may apply to the Council for re-categorizing by the Council as a Retired member (RM.IRHACE).
