ASHRAE Annual Conference to Focus on High Efficiency, Energy Conservation and Facts vs. Simulation

April 7, 2010 - ATLANTA?Guidance on how to improve building systems?from moisture issues to ventilation?including high efficiency HVAC&R systems and ventilation systems, is an important focus of the technical program at ASHRAE?s 2010 Annual Conference, June 26-30 in Albuquerque, N.M.

?The program is strong in presentations that are market-based, addressing existing technology, systems and equipment, giving attendees more practical, hands-on knowledge that they can use daily in their professions,? Kirk Mescher, conference program chair, said. ?The conference presents more paper-related sessions, a result of integrating a shorter, conference paper into the program.?

The technical program starts Sunday, June 27, at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The program features 10 technical paper sessions (with 29 papers presented), 16 conference paper sessions (40 papers presented), 61 seminars, 10 forums and one technical plenary session for a total of 98 sessions and 69 meeting papers. For a complete listing of the technical program, visit www.ashrae.org/newmexico.

The program is divided into seven tracks. The tracks with the most number of programs are: High Efficiency HVAC&R Systems, Energy Facts vs. Simulation, Living with HVAC&R Systems, Energy Conservation vs. New Generation and Ventilation Systems.

Sessions of interest in these tracks include: Standard 90.1-2010, A First Look, a two-part seminar that presents information on the development and content of the upcoming 2010 version of 90.1; Energy Efficient Operation and Design of Data Centers, addressing efficiency improvement options in data centers and the resultant operating cost associated with these improvements; Energy Efficiency Retrofit Measures for Government Buildings, focused on energy efficient retrofits of existing buildings; HVAC System Noise Control for Classrooms, summarizing guidelines/requirements related to noise control in schools; and Building Energy Simulation 101, covering the basics of simulation programs and selecting the appropriate type.

Conference registrants will also be able to experience the technical program through the Virtual Conference, providing the most complete access to the state-of-the-art concepts and latest design techniques. Participants of the Virtual Conference can view and listen to programs on their own schedule, post comments and view presenters? responses. Access to the Virtual Conference is included with paid conference registration or can be purchased separately.

Advance conference registration is $515 (ASHRAE member) and $680 (non-member) by May 31. Virtual Conference registration is $299 (ASHRAE member) and $464 (non-member). To register or for more information, go to www.ashrae.org/newmexico.

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.
