The 2010 ASHRAE Winter Conference, which takes place January 23-27, 2010 at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel, in Orlando, Florida will focus on developments that contribute to making indoor environments sustainable in humid climates, while also addressing a myriad of other HVAC&R industry issues.

According to Dennis Wessel, the Orlando Conference chair, the technical program will present state-of-the-art concepts and design techniques on a wide range of hot topics. “The technical program features a mix of presentations and papers concentrated in 11 tracks, including the impact of ASHRAE standards 90.1 and 62.1, sustainability, and a combined energy conservation and alternative energy solutions track, the largest track,” Wessel said.

In addition, the technical program focuses on humidity control and the industry’s ability to improve comfort for occupants and save energy. Sessions address Operating Cost Implications in Humid Environments, Enhanced Dehumidification Strategies with Energy Recovery in Hot and Humid Climates, Humidity Control Issues and Solutions for High Performing Buildings, among others. In addition, the technical plenary will discuss H1N1 and look at the importance of building ventilation as compared to vaccination and quarantine in infection control.
