Registration Opens for the 2018 ASHRAE Winter
Conference.
ASHRAE is pleased to announce registration is now open
for its
2018 Winter Conference, to be held in Chicago, Ill.,
Jan. 20-24, at the Palmer House Hilton. Registration is
also open for the
AHR Expo,
Jan. 22-24 at McCormick Place, co-sponsored by ASHRAE
and the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration
Institute (AHRI).
The ASHRAE Winter Conference features eight conference
tracks, tours, social events and a keynote message from
Debbie Sterling, Founder and CEO of GoldieBlox.
Attendees will examine the latest topics in the building
industry, through a technical program featuring more
than 200 presentations and 300 speakers.
“Engineers and designers continue to adopt design
principles to reduce the ecological impact of our built
environment on the world around us. It has practically
become second nature,” says Michael Collarin, technical
program chair of the ASHRAE Winter Conference. “This
conference provides professionals with an unparalleled
opportunity to focus on the design, build, control,
commission, operating facilities and infrastructure
resources that they need, not only to be efficient, but
resilient.”
The conference includes tracks on what ASHRAE is most
known for – standards, fundamentals and applications,
systems and equipment. Tracks on industry trends in
resiliency and modeling throughout a building’s life
cycle, as well as tracks addressing specific
disciplines, such as tall buildings and heat exchange
equipment are also on the agenda.
Technical Program tracks include Systems and Equipment;
Fundamentals and Applications; Standards, Guidelines and
Codes; Earth, Wind & Fire; Tall Buildings; Modeling
Throughout the Building Life Cycle; and Heat Exchange
Equipment.
ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) will offer two full-day,
and five half-day seminars during the conference.
Courses include: The Commissioning Process in New &
Existing Buildings; High-Performance Building Design:
Applications & Future Trends; Variable Refrigerant Flow
