About the Conferences

In 1972, a group of Purdue University professors saw the need for a research conference on compressors and started the International Compressor Engineering Conference.  In 1986, the refrigeration conference was added, and in 2002 research on air conditioning became part of this conference.  2010 brought another addition to these research conferences with the High Performance Buildings Conference.  Recent environmental concerns have emphasized this new area where Purdue feels it can serve as a venue for cutting-edge research presentations.
