“The 2015 Annual Conference in Atlanta will have a strong focus on the design, construction and operation of high performance buildings as four of the nine tracks in the conference focus on advanced design guidance, modeling, operation and optimization, and indoor air quality which are key aspects of high performance buildings along with one track that explicitly considers measured results and other aspects of high performance buildings,” said David Claridge, Technical Conference Chair. A call for papers recently closed and some 130 abstracts were accepted, he said.

As expected, there were a large number of submissions to the Systems and Equipment track. The Building Operation, Maintenance, and Optimization/Commissioning Track had the second-highest number of abstracts accepted. A call for programs will be announced to round out the program, he said.

The window for submitting program proposals for seminars, forums, workshops, etc. Is January 5, 2015 to February 9, 2015. The Moving Advanced Energy Design Guidance to the Mainstream Track focuses on the Advanced Energy Design Guides and seeks programs on methods for using the guides, including actual building case studies and other documented uses to move the market towards energy efficiency. The High Performance Buildings Track extends ASHRAE’s extensive activities in the design and measured performance of these buildings by seeking programs on these successes as well as identifying shortfalls where high performance has fallen considerably short of the design.

Real engineering as applied to operation, maintenance and operational optimization or “commissioning” can bring increased comfort and offers huge financial returns. The Building Operation, Maintenance, and Optimization/Commissioning Track seeks programs related to all aspects of this topic. Computational capacity and data collection capability has expanded the scope, complexity and practical applications of modeling.

The Modeling throughout the Building Life Cycle Track seeks programs related to all aspects of building modeling and, in particular, successful applications that have extended modeling into operational phases of the building life cycle. Indoor air quality is closely linked to comfort and to occupant satisfaction, productivity and health.

The Indoor Air Quality Track seeks programs that explore these links, particularly in ways that make the case for high levels of IAQ compelling to building owners. The Refrigeration Track has an emphasis on related refrigeration technologies that will reduce the use of traditional refrigerants including evaporative cooling and desiccants. As with past ASHRAE conferences, the Atlanta Conference also seeks programs addressing advances and practices across HVAC&R systems, equipment, fundamentals and applications. Conference paper abstracts have been accepted for this conference.

Papers are due Jan. These papers undergo a single-blind review. Reviews are currently being conducted on Technical Papers. These papers undergo a rigorous double-blind review and will be published in ASHRAE Transactions. If you would like to be a reviewer for Technical Papers, please contact Tiffany Cox, Conference Program Administrator, at tcox@ashrae.org. Track Chair: Gary C. Debes / Monte Troutman Email: / Refrigeration is a critical element of modern life, from preserving our food to maintaining comfort.

The ozone depleting potential of the older refrigerants has led to adoption of non-ozone depleting refrigerants, with the focus now shifting to refrigerants with low global warming potential. These factors when combined with multiple drivers toward energy efficiency may lead to a diverse set of different refrigerants and processes for different cooling applications. This track will have presentations and papers from all areas of refrigeration and will particularly explore related technologies that will reduce the use of traditional refrigerants including evaporative cooling and desiccants. Track 5: Building Operation, Maintenance and Optimization/Commissioning. Track Chair: Alan Neely / Mike McDermott Email: / Operation and maintenance have always accounted for a major portion of building expenses and a much smaller level of engineering effort aimed at controlling these expenses. Over the last one to two decades, there has been an increasing realization that real engineering applied to operation, maintenance and operational optimization or “commissioning” can bring increased comfort and offers huge financial returns.

This track solicits papers and presentations related to any and all aspects of this topic. Track 6: Indoor Air Quality. Track Chair: Jeffrey Spitler / Michael Collarin Email: / Modeling was originally concerned primarily with building and system design specifications. The demands of energy efficient operation brought about the need for modeling of part-load operation for a variety of off-design conditions. The explosion of computational capacity and data collection capability is rapidly expanding the scope, complexity and practical applications of modeling both during design, but even more so for fault detection, diagnostics and operational optimization.

Thirty years ago, people were dreaming of doing some of the things that Building Information Modeling is now bringing to reality. Presentations and papers are solicited related to all aspects of building modeling, with a particular interest in successful applications that have extended modeling into operational phases of the building life cycle. Track 8: High Performance Buildings. Track Chair: Rachel Romero / Andrea Zarour / Mary Ann Piette Email: / / This track seeks papers and presentations on the design and measured performance of high performance commercial and industrial buildings in North America and around the world. There are numerous examples of buildings designed for high performance that have fallen considerably short of the design intent and papers that identify reasons for these shortfalls are of particular interest. Track 9: Moving Advanced Energy Design Guidance to the Mainstream. Track Chair: James Liston / Paul A.

Torcellini / Frank Schambach Email: / / This track focuses on the Advanced Energy Design Guides, with a circulation of over 500,000, and other like methods for reaching a broad audience with advanced energy efficiency. The target is a 50% reduction in energy. Papers and sessions focus on methods for using the guides including actual building case studies, educational curriculum, and other documented uses to move the market towards energy efficiency.

Also, papers and sessions focus on the methods to create the guidance. Track 10: Laboratories.
