ASHRAE has announced a call for research papers for its newly-created Research Summit to be held in conjunction with the Society’s 2013 Annual Conference in Denver, CO, on June 22-26. The presentation of research-related papers is a part of the overall Research Summit, which will also encompass keynote speakers, forums, panel discussions and seminars. Also, other sessions of interest to the research community will be presented, including how to apply for ASHRAE research funding. Technical papers are sought that describe completed and ongoing research, addressing broad areas in HVAC/R research and building science, which seeks to address the broader areas outside HVAC/R and how buildings systems perform. Papers related to renewable energy research and its role in the industry’s movement toward a clean energy economy are highly encouraged. In addition to Research, the 2013 ASHRAE Annual Conference seeks papers addressing the core HVAC/R systems and equipment, and fundamentals and applications advances and practices, as well as for tracks on Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), building energy modeling versus measurement and verification, and mile-high efficiency and equipment.
