ASHRAE conference call for papers

USA: Abstracts are now being accepted for the 2022 ASHRAE Annual Conference in Canada, which will address the changes to buildings created by the coronavirus pandemic. 

The conference’s technical programme will comprise papers and programmes that are pertinent to the future of the built environment.

“As we move into 2022 and face climate extremes and natural disasters along with the pandemic, buildings continue to be critical to our everyday lives,” said Kristen Cetin, conference chair. “These commercial, industrial and residential buildings in particular face an increasingly complex set of competing priorities to balance, as well as an increasing number of technologies and solutions to use and implement. The 2022 ASHRAE Annual Conference focuses on such diverse priorities and methods to address them, while considering the dynamic nature of such priorities over time.”

Scheduled to be held at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel fromm June 25- 29, the technical programme will comprise eight tracks:
Buildings in the Aftermath of Covid-19
Connected Buildings, Connected Communities
IAQ, Energy Use, Comfort and Health of Sustainable Buildings
Cold Climate Building System Design, Operation and Resilience
Professional Development
HVAC&R Systems and Equipment
Fundamentals and Applications
Research Summit

Abstracts of up to 400 are invited by September 20, 2021. If accepted, final conference papers (8-page maximum) are due December 1, 2021.

In addition, technical papers (complete 30-page maximum papers published in ASHRAE Transactions) are also due September 20, 2021, and considered for Science and Technology for the Built Environment, ASHRAE’s research journal.
