Until 1990, ISHRAE and Delhi Chapter of ISHRAE (DCI) were synonymous. With the formation of the first chapter outside Delhi in Bangalore and subsequently in other Indian cities, ISHRAE became a National organization and Delhi Chapter became one of the constituent chapters of ISHRAE in 1990. Starting with a membership of about 250 in 1989, the Delhi Chapter today has more than 1700 members. Delhi Chapter has had the honour of being led by some of the most prominent personalities of the Indian HVAC industry.
