With its nearly 100 educational sessions, the technical program at ASHRAE’s Annual Conference provides a focus on optimal indoor air quality, and runs June 21-24, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky., with sessions on nearly every aspect of HVAC&R, from staying current with design practices to commissioning and good engineering business practices.

“When working in HVAC&R, you need to be well educated on upcoming changes and new codes and standards, all of which are covered in the technical program. Those who develop the Handbooks and standards are there at the meeting; you should be too,” says Kirk Mescher, chair of ASHRAE’s Conferences and Expositions Committee.

For the first time, the technical program features a large building systems track that begins with an introduction to large buildings and addresses sustainable large building design, energy modelling, smoke control and specifically indoor sports facilities, entertainment venues, and museums and libraries. Other tracks with multiple programs include systems and equipment, indoor air quality, energy and sustainability.
