Important Know Before You Go:  In-Person Attendees

ASHRAE will host the annual Building Performance Analysis Conference September 11-13, 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Austin, in Austin, Texas. This will be the tenth consecutive ASHRAE modeling conference and 12th overall. Designers, Architects, Consulting Engineers, Building Owners, Principals of Firms, Researchers, Utility Providers, Policy Experts, Contractors and Facility Managers will address the practices of energy modeling and building performance simulation using existing simulation tools, software development and future simulation research and applications.

The technical program will consist of keynote speakers, invited speakers, a call for presentations and the ninth ASHRAE LowDown Showdown.

The theme of the conference is: Holistic Building Analysis: Linking Operational Energy, Embodied Carbon and Comfort.

The technical program will address topics such as:

  • Approaches to Modeling Future Weather, Climate and Extreme Events
  • Modeling Advances - Tools and Workflows
  • Modeling for Carbon and Embodied Energy
  • Occupant Health, Wellbeing and Comfort
  • Modeling Existing Buildings
  • Thermal and hygrothermal (envelope) modeling
  • Lighting and Daylighting
  • Resilience
  • Intelligent Building Operations - Grid Interactions and Distributed Energy Resources
  • CFD Applications for Architectural Decision Making
