ASHRAE and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are co-organizing the 2025 Buildings XVI International Conference in Clearwater Beach, Fla., December 8-11, 2025.

“This conference draws heavily on the advanced technical knowledge of our global experts and takes place every three years, allowing time to develop new research and technology applications, and to document findings,” said André Desjarlais, conference chair.

The conference steering committee is seeking residential and commercial application-focused abstracts on the development of high-impact technologies and processes that are cost-effective, reduce energy use and environmental consequences. Papers should demonstrate how the focus will lead to high-performance buildings, demonstrate technologies ready for implementation, and show the promise of short- to mid-term adoption.

“It’s a great opportunity for product manufacturers, research groups, technical advisors, builders, designers, and consultants to discuss their work achievements, interest, and awareness of buildings issues, and provide solutions to some of our major building problems,” Desjarlais added.

Abstract submissions are due by September 20, 2024. If accepted, papers will be due April 1, 2025.
