TC 4.7 organizes symposia, seminars and forums relating to energy
calculations, that are held at ASHRAEs winter and annual meetings. Past
and upcoming program events are listed below along with current calls
for abstracts and papers. If you would like to be involved in one of the
upcoming events (e.g. by submitting a paper to a symposium, offering a
presentation at a seminar, or offering to review papers), or if you have
a suggestion for a new event, please contact the program chair
(currently Jeff Haberl ).
None at this time.
Some of the presentations from past events can be downloaded or viewed on-line. These are made available
under the conditions laid out in the disclaimer below. Presentations linked with
the
icon are in portable document format. In the case of symposia presentations that are not available for download,
you can always find the papers in the ASHRAE Transactions (available on CD or by download from the ASHRAE website for a fee).
Seminars and Forums do not have associated printed papers.
