*ASHRAE Seeks Presenters for Building Performance Analysis Conference
ASHRAE has announced a call for presenters for the 2017 ASHRAE Building
Performance Analysis Conference (formerly known as the ASHRAE Energy
Modeling Conference).
This year's conference expands on the core subject of energy modeling to
encompass non-energy building performance analysis and simulation for
professionals responsible for such work. Topics include modeling for and
during the design phase; modeling innovative or new technologies; data
visualization; and future trends in modeling.
Presentation proposals on these and other topics are due March 13, and
decisions will be announced April 3. The conference will be held Sept. 27?29 in
Atlanta.

ASHRAE LowDown Showdown Competition
Year three of the LowDown Showdown will require teams to be more
collaborative, creative and competitive, while serving up a baseline
building that is more challenging!
This year participants will model an
?
?*existing *building that includes both office space and climate controlled
archival warehouse space. Sound interesting? Well start forming your team
now! The 2017 challenge allows conference attendees to
? ?
*form their own teams* to see who has the chops to retrofit an existing
building and make it net zero or below.
Another new twist ? the ASHRAE LowDown Showdown 2017 will showcase only
the best entries. A limited number of teams will be invited to present
their projects at the conference and one winner and a runner up will be
chosen. Audience participation will include voting on a Fan Favorite and a
question and answer session.
More details on the 2017 LDSd will be coming in February and full baseline
information will be sent out in early April. Did we mention it is in a
challenging climate zone? Well it is.
So don?t wait! Fill out the questionnaire
contacting your colleagues, friends, associates to line up your team
members. If you are not part of a team and still want to participate, fill
out the form and you will be assigned to a team based on your answers.
Let the competition begin???
