The 2012 Winter Conference takes place January 21-25 at the Palmer House Hilton. The International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Expo, which is held in conjunction with the Winter Conference, will run January 23-25. The Expo (www.ahrexpo.com) is held at McCormick Place.
The technical program features more than 90 programs and 300 speakers addressing energy modelling applications; integrated design; healthcare, laboratories and data centre applications, among others; operations and maintenance; high-performance buildings; as well as refrigeration and systems and equipment sessions.

The full Technical Program, which will be announced later, offers the opportunity to earn a year’s worth of PDHs, NY PDHs, AIA LUs and LEED AP credits.
The Chicago Virtual Conference is included with a paid conference registration (comp and single-day registration excluded), and includes on-demand access to all speakers’ audio presentations synced to their presentations.
