ATLANTA (March 13, 2015) – ASHRAE has announced a call for papers for its 2016 Winter Conference in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 23-27. The call for papers includes a recognition for the best paper written by a graduate student.
Papers are being accepted on the following topics:
- Design Build project delivery, which explores the challenges and benefits, highlights successful projects and addresses several topics, including contracts and alternative design and construction processes.
- Modern Residential Systems for energy efficient solutions and the latest advances ranging from glazing to water heating to lighting for the residential market.
- Cutting Edge Technologies, which explores efforts to achieve net zero energy buildings.
In addition, the 2016 ASHRAE Winter Conference also seeks papers addressing advances and practices across HVAC&R systems, equipment, fundamentals and applications, especially for the International Design Track.
ASHRAE offers two types of paper submissions:
- Conference Paper Abstracts due March 23, 2015. Upon acceptance, papers will be due July 6, 2015. These “final” papers undergo a single-blind review, are submitted as a PDF and have an eight single-spaced page maximum length.
- Full Technical Papers due April 20, 2015. Papers submitted for review must be both technically accurate and clearly written. These papers undergo a rigorous double-blind review and can be a maximum of 30 double-spaced pages.
Graduate Student Paper Recognition
Graduate students who submit a Conference Paper are eligible to participate in a recognition program titled “Best Graduate Student Paper.” The recognition program is an ASHRAE effort to expose a deserving graduate student to the international community of researchers in the field by helping to fund their travel to the 12th CLIMA World Congress to be held May 22-25, 2016, in Aalborg, Denmark.
ASHRAE will conduct a review of graduate student papers accepted for the January 2016 ASHRAE Winter Conference to make the selection. The graduate student author chosen will receive funding up to $2500 to offset expenses of attending the CLIMA 2016 Congress. Conditions of the award are that the paper must be based on the student’s thesis, that the paper be a Conference Paper (not a Technical Paper), that the student be the first author listed and that the submitter be a graduate student at the time of the abstract submission.
