ASHRAE Meeting Planner - March 2013 - (Page 2)

Research Summit A newly created Research Summit is being held in conjunction with the ASHRAE 2013 Annual Conference. The Summit seeks to bring together distinguished researchers to present and discuss the latest research results, innovative research techniques and forecast future research directions. Individuals from government agencies also have been invited to discuss research funding opportunities. The presentation of research-related papers is a part of the event, which also encompasses keynote speakers, forums, panel discussions and seminars. Also, other sessions of interest to the research community are presented, including how to apply for ASHRAE research funding. Technical papers will focus on completed and ongoing research, addressing broad areas in HVAC&R research and building science, which seeks to address the broader areas outside of the HVAC&R and how buildings systems perform. Furthermore, papers related to renewable energy research and its role in the industry’s movement toward a clean energy economy are featured. Of course, ASHRAE-related research articles related to building system design and performance are appropriate since the Society spends $2.5 million annually on research projects. Technical Program Papers presented as part of the Technical Program focuses on current research worldwide; core HVAC&R applications and systems; and Integrated Project Design, Energy Modeling and Building Efficiency Performance. As with past ASHRAE Conferences, the Denver Conference also includes papers addressing the core HVAC&R Systems and Equipment and Fundamentals and Applications advances and practices. The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) track addresses the evolving method of managing a design project from conceptual design through to the operation and maintenance phase, based on the concept of shared risk/ profit and teamwork. Papers in this track focus on success and lessons learned with IPD, as well as individual roles in IPD collaboration. The Building Energy Modeling vs. Measurement & Verification track includes papers discussing the accuracy of building energy modeling programs compared to utility usage in the actual building after one to two years of occupancy, investigates trends in building modeling; and/or the realities of construction and O&M, such as systemic construction issues that lead to long term non-performance and training staff to operate a building as it was designed to perform.

From ancient puebloan ceramics, to 19th century Arapaho beaded garments, to contemporary glass work, the museum offers a look at the rich diversity of art forms, histories and artistic styles coming from American Indian artists and communities. Tickets are required and are available for purchase with registration. ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) ALI offers seven in-depth training courses including a new Professional Development Seminar on Operations and Maintenance of High-Performance Buildings and a new Short Course on Optimization of HVAC Systems and their Components. ALI instructors are recognized subject matter experts chosen by ASHRAE on the basis of their practitioner backgrounds and understanding of the key concepts which need to be applied for successful engineering. President’s Luncheon Noon–2 pm/Monday, June 24/$42 2013–14 ASHRAE President William P. “Bill” Bahnfleth, Ph.D., P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, ASME Fellow, presents his presidential theme, Shaping the Next. The theme focuses on embracing our responsibility to our fellow humans and the earth—Our World—to make buildings safe, healthy, productive, comfortable environments in harmony with nature, by developing the human resource of the professional community— Ourselves—and by transforming what we do, how we do it, and who we do it with—Our Work—to be more global in outlook, broader in scope, and more collaborative in approach. Technical Tours ASHRAE Conference technical tours give you a first-hand look at technology developed by members to further the industry. Tours to be announced soon and may include the Denver Zoo, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, SolarTac and Pepsi Center Stadium. Welcome Party 6:30–8:30 pm/Saturday, June 22/$55/Denver Art Museum The Welcome Party takes place at the Denver Art Museum, a half-mile walk from the Sheraton. In addition to several galleries being open, a caricature artist is there to capture the fun! Exhibits open during the Welcome Party are the Native American and Western collections. The Denver community has long embraced its western roots, and, as the city’s premier visual arts institution, the Denver Art Museum has collected and exhibited western American art for over 50 years.
