ASHRAE’s 2022 Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild aim to bring attention to carbon-reduction strategies through the application of simulation and modelling over the entire building life cycle.

Co-sponsored by ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA, the conference will take place September 14-16, 2022, at the Palmer House Hilton (Chicago, Ill.) but will also be offered virtually.

The theme of the conference “Better buildings, less carbon: supporting the transition to a clean and just climate” focuses on research and methodology for minimizing operational carbon in buildings.

“The recent changes in the world energy markets and evolving regulations continue to increase demand for improved performance of our building stock,” said conference vice-chair John Bynum. “The [conference] seeks to bring together professionals across disciplines to share ideas and work toward a more-efficient and balanced future for the whole life cycle of the built environment.”

The conference features more than 50 paper and 40 non-paper presentations, along with three keynotes. Popular topics include a debate on thermal comfort, occupant health and well-being, modelling for future and extreme weather events, building envelope design and performance, urban scale modelling and innovations in passive heating and cooling.
