The technical program at ASHRAE’s 2018 Winter Conference will feature over 200 presentations by nearly 300 speakers. The program will include the traditional tracks on standards, fundamentals and applications, and systems and equipment, as well as tracks on industry trends in resiliency and modeling throughout a building’s life cycle. A series of refrigerant and residential building mini-track seminars will also be presented.
“In recent years, the industry has needed to take steps to mitigate the impact of the world around us on our built environment,” said Michael Collarin, chair of the 2018 ASHRAE Winter Conference. “This is especially the case in our transportation, government, and mission critical arenas where the loss of critical infrastructure can have severe consequences, including the loss of life. The tracks and programs for the ASHRAE Winter Conference will focus on resources to design, build, control, commission, and operate facilities and infrastructure that need to not only be efficient but resilient.”
