ASHRAE has released the full technical program for its 2026 Winter Conference, scheduled for January 31 to February 4 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will run concurrently with the AHR Expo from February 2–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The program includes over 100 technical sessions across nine thematic tracks, providing opportunities to earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Topics will address the integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, energy resilience, decarbonization, and core HVAC&R practices.
Attendees can access the schedule via the ASHRAE 365 app or online platform to plan their participation in sessions, committee meetings, networking events, industry tours, and award ceremonies.
Notable sessions include a seminar on AI-driven campus energy optimization, a workshop on building services cybersecurity, and a panel discussion on next-generation refrigeration systems for supermarkets. A seminar on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) will focus on human health and performance in modern spaces.
The ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) will offer 21 courses approved for continuing education. A new addition, Fundamentals of District Cooling System Design (MENA), targets professionals in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia with content presented in both SI and IP units.
