ASHRAE seeks presenters, posters for High Performance Buildings Conference

ASHRAE is seeking presenters and posters for the High Performance Buildings Conference to be held on 7-8 April 2014 at Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, California.

Abstracts for presentations are due 25 October 2013, while poster PDFs are due 21 February 2014. Additional information can be found at www.hpbmagazine.org/hpb2014.

The conference program will have a mix of invited speakers and a call for presenters. In addition, there will be a poster session on ‘Measured Building Performance’ and ‘Modeled Building Performance’.

“We would like to see a balance of presentations showing innovation, proven methods for improving building operation resulting in deep energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality, measured performance and HPB case studies demonstrating new technologies,” Kent Peterson, conference chair, said. “We are seeking posters of designed or built buildings that balance high-performance building attributes of energy efficiency, water savings and indoor environmental quality.”

Building on the 2012 High Performance Buildings Conference and 2009 Net-Zero Energy Conference, the conference seeks to advance the industry’s efforts to accomplish a true high-performance built environment.

The conference topics include water efficiency, building occupant behaviour, new building technologies and indoor environmental quality.  In addition, there is increased emphasis on lighting/daylighting and the building envelope.
