Although it’s still several months away, ASHRAE is seeking white papers for its Jan. 24-28, 2015, winter HVAC construction conference.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers are scheduled to hold its HVAC market event at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. It takes place in conjunction with the Jan. 26-28 AHR Expo at McCormick Place convention center.

Topics for the conference this year include large buildings, industrial facilities, green HVAC, zero energy building and water-efficient designs.

“With the conference being held in the big city of Chicago, the technical program itself is going big with a focus on big projects, the big picture and big impacts,” said conference chairman Doug Cochrane.

Abstracts are due March 24, and accepted papers have a July 7 deadline. Submission guidelines are available at www.ashrae.org/chicago.
