CIBSE (The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) is inviting experts to submit papers for the CIBSE ASHRAE Technical Symposium 2014: 'Moving to a New World of Building Systems Performance'.
The event for building services industry practitioners and students across the building services industry will be held at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) on 3 and 4 April 2014.
The fourth annual Technical Symposium aims to encourage the participation of researchers and practicing engineers to share experiences and develop networks. Young engineers, both students and those early in their careers, are particularly encouraged to attend.
Submitted papers concerning research and development can address:
· Enhanced building engineering solutions through modelling and prediction
· Innovation in passive and active building systems
· Design and operation of future cities
· Improving the operation of the built environment
· Maintaining and improving legacy building systems
· The development and impact of benchmarks, standards and regulatory measures
· Communication, skills and workforce development
The event is supported by Future Cities Catapult, reflecting one of its key aims, which is to improve building performance of cities in changing conditions. With population and temperatures rising, buildings need to be resilient whilst saving energy due to low resources and high demands.
CIBSE President George Adams said: 'The CIBSE ASHRAE Technical Symposium is an exciting two-day event which tackles a fascinating range of cutting edge subjects. It is a unique opportunity for members and industry experts to share knowledge on and debate important issues in the built environment, such as the adaptation of cities to the impact of population growth and climate change.'
Abstracts should be emailed to abstracts to groups@cibse.org by 15 September. All accepted papers will be peer reviewed and will be featured in the technical journal Building Services Engineering Research & Technology (BSERT).
