Abstracts are being accepting for the ASHRAE and SCANVAC HVAC Cold Climate Conference 2023, to be held in Anchorage, Alaska, March 6 – 8, 2023, at the Marriott Anchorage Downtown.
This conference will address unique challenges and solutions for climate change in cold and arctic communities.
“Net-zero energy and sustainability goals pose special challenges for cold climates, climates with large swings in temperature and where shifting weather patterns result in colder temperatures in areas where winters are typically mild,” said Erich Binder, HVAC Cold Climate Conference 2023 chair. “Harmonizing human comfort with the climatic realities of these environments is a balancing act, and strategic design is key to building, commissioning and operating efficient and long-lasting cold-climate structures.”
The conference seeks papers focused on the following topics and subtopics:
Innovation in Equipment and Application
Sustainability and Resiliency
Building Environments
Abstracts (300 words or less) should concisely present the problem statement, the novelty of the work, the methodology, the impact and applicability in cold climates, and the findings. Abstract submissions are due June 13, 2022. If accepted, final conference papers (8-page maximum) are due October 31, 2022.
