ASHRAE Insights

2009 ASHRAE Winter Meeting, Chicago—January 24–28

ASHRAE seeks to advance the state of the art in sustainability by focusing the technical program on the theme Sustainable Urban Design.

The theme seeks to elicit papers and programs that present the latest developments in sustainability as applied to systems and equipment, application of their use in different types of buildings and, especially, the impact on urban settings.

The technical program seeks to bring together engineers, architects, contractors and students to address sustainable design from all perspectives.

Topics for papers and programs include:

•   Energy conservation;

•   Indoor environmental quality;

•   Application of ASHRAE guidance to achieve high-performing sustainable results;

•   International sustainability efforts; and

•   Other HVAC&R topics of interest.
