ASHRAE Rises to the Occasion in Albuquerque

April 5, 2010 - ATLANTA?From the soaring Sandia Mountains to peacefully floating hot air balloons, at almost 5,000 feet above sea level, Albuquerque, N.M. is a city of great heights. Since ASHRAE is always striving to reach the highest levels of energy efficiency and sustainability, Albuquerque serves as the perfect site for the 2010 ASHRAE Annual Conference.

?Raising Efficiency to New Levels serves as the Conference theme and echoes ASHRAE?s mission,? Gordon Holness, ASHRAE president, said. ?As leaders in the industry, ASHRAE should continually strive to set high standards for energy efficiency and sustainability. Not only that, but ASHRAE also must lead by example by achieving and exceeding those standards to the highest level.?

With a focus on energy efficiency system design for high elevations and dry climates, this year?s technical program features more market-based papers and programs than in previous technology-driven ASHRAE conferences. In addition, the conference includes traditional full-length Technical Papers as well as a new Conference Paper format. Technical program tracks include: What Is Sustainable Anyway?; Energy Facts vs. Simulation; Ventilation Systems; Refrigeration for the Future; Energy Conservation vs. New Generation; Living with HVAC&R Systems; and High Efficiency HVAC Systems.

The technical program begins Sunday, June 27, and ends Wednesday, June 30, with all sessions at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Complete program details will soon be available at www.ashrae.org/newmexico.

The Albuquerque Virtual Conference also creates exciting new opportunities for attendees?present and remote?to interact with the speakers and other attendees through the posting of questions and comments, viewing comments and viewing the presenters? responses. The Virtual Conference consists of some 250+ presentations of seminars and conference and technical paper sessions.

The ASHRAE Learning Institute offers eight courses, including new full-day seminars on integrated building design and implementing Standard 189.1-2009 and a new half-day seminar introducing the IAQ design guide as a tool for avoiding IAQ problems.

The Conference keynote speaker is Karan Grover of Karan Grover and Associates in India. Grover will share his thoughts on the need to look at a society?s culture and heritage for clues to the direction of contemporary architecture and sustainable development. The Plenary session takes place Saturday, June 26 at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque.
ASHRAE technical tours offer an inside view of how technology developed by members is practically applied in building environments. Tours at the Annual Conference include the Albuquerque Aquarium and the heating and cooling plants of the University of New Mexico.

Additionally, ASHRAE President-Elect Lynn G. Bellenger, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, a partner at Pathfinder Engineers & Architects, Rochester, N.Y., takes office as 2010-11 president. Bellenger presents her inaugural address at the president?s luncheon on Monday, June 28, focused on modeling a more sustainable world through energy simulation, daylight analysis, CFD and BIM software.

The ASHRAE Annual Conference takes place June 26-30. To register or for more information, visit www.ashrae.org/newmexico. The Hyatt Regency Albuquerque will serve as the headquarters hotel.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education.
