The convention technical program explores the total breadth of innovation throughout the HVAC&R business, together with thermal community modeling, power storage and AI-supported constructing operations.
“The conference highlights the growing importance of residential HVAC research through real-world performance studies, advanced heat pump technologies, smart controls, and strategies that enhance comfort, resilience and energy efficiency across diverse housing types,” says ASHRAE Technical Conference Chair Li Song.
“We anticipate a lively event in Chicago where new ideas and forward-looking research help shape the future of our built environment.”
Conference papers are requested for the next tracks:
- The “Residential HVAC Research and Demonstration” observe explores applied sciences and methods that enhance power effectivity and local weather resilience whereas nonetheless prioritising occupant consolation, indoor environmental high quality and price for numerous residential housing sorts.
- The “Thermal Network Systems and Energy Storage” observe focuses on the functions comparable to networked constructing power modeling, district heating and cooling, and superior management structure that optimises power programs throughout various working situations.
- The “Nexus of Real and Artificial Intelligence” observe explores the connection between human perception and AI-enabled controls to raise constructing operations, with a concentrate on knowledge heart environments, constructing and campus design methods, and power-delivery programs.
- The “Decarbonisation Retrofits” observe focuses on lowering emissions from current buildings via enhancements to regulate modifications, commissioning, system or gear replacements, and others.
- The “Research Summit” observe options lively analysis, and the trade of analysis findings, vital to the event of the HVAC&R business and constructed atmosphere. The observe features a partnership with ASHRAE’s archival journal, Science and Technology for the Built Environment.
- The “Refrigerants and Refrigeration” observe explores refrigeration programs, which generate and use chilly for a spread of processes, from meals preparation and conservation to vaccine preservation, to long-term safety of fragile historic inks of historic paperwork and others.
- The “Fundamentals and Applications” observe will present alternatives for papers of various ranges throughout a big subject base. Concepts, design components and shared experiences for theoretical and utilized ideas of HVAC&R design are included.
- The “HVAC&R Systems and Equipment” observe will concentrate on the event of latest programs and gear, enhancements to current programs and gear and the right utility and operation of programs and gear.
Abstracts (400 phrases or much less) are due May 27, 2026. If accepted, ultimate convention papers (8-page most) are due September 2, 2026.
Accepted papers will probably be thought of for publication in Science and Technology for the Built Environment.
