ATLANTA — ASHRAE announced that its 2013 Annual Conference will be held June 22-26, in Denver, with its technical program, learning courses, technical tours, and a new Research Summit.

The technical program kicks off early Sunday, June 23, with interactive programs and a networking coffee break. The technical program includes such tracks as Building Energy Modeling vs. Measurement and Verification; Renewable and Alternative Energy Sources; and the Mile-High Efficiency and Equipment track. The Integrated Project Delivery mini-conference, which takes place Sunday-Monday, presents success stories and lessons learned. The technical program runs June 23-26.

In addition, a newly created Research Summit — which comprises a major portion of the technical program with some 30 sessions scheduled, 22 of which are paper-based sessions — brings together researchers to present and discuss the latest research results, new research techniques, and forecasts of future research directions.

ASHRAE Learning Institute offers seven in-depth training courses including a new Professional Development Seminar, “Operations and Maintenance of High-Performance Buildings,” and a new Short Course, “Optimization of HVAC Systems and Their Components.”
