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.

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

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.
