Technical Program Released for ASHRAE 2024 Conference

ASHRAE has released a comprehensive technical program for its 2024 Conference for Integrated Design, Construction & Operations, taking place June 24-26 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Early bird registration is available through April 30.

Rebranded from the former Building Performance Analysis Conference, CIDCO provides an in-depth look at existing tools and applied knowledge, as well as the study and introduction of new technologies, including machine learning, artificial intelligence and virtual reality to design, construct and operate buildings.

The two-day conference will include keynotes, seminars, panel discussions and debates from more than 60 presenters.

CIDCO will include the following panel discussions:

  • ASHRAE HQ Project: Lessons Learned

In this panel, former building committee chair and 2023-24 ASHRAE President Ginger Scoggins will moderate a discussion among project contributors on lessons learned from the renovation of ASHRAE’s net-zero energy-efficient global headquarters.

  • President’s Roundtable on Workforce Development

The panel will discuss the challenge of workforce development in the HVAC&R industry and how to compete with other tech savvy industries to attract new workers, as well as engage and upskill the existing workforce.

  • The Importance of Optimizing Distributed Energy Resources in Grid Interactive Buildings for Carbon Neutrality

Panel participants will explore how commercial and institutional buildings would benefit from newer technologies in distributed energy resources, such as small hydro/wind turbines, solar PV, batteries and on-premises recovery systems. 

 

The 2024 CIDCO Showdown offers the opportunity for teams to compete using BIM tools, processes and strategies to design, construct and operate a proposed model building. This year, teams will design a holistic mixed-use, multilevel medium-sized office building in Indianapolis that purposefully considers all spatial, environmental and human factors.

CIDCO will be held in conjunction with the 2024 ASHRAE Annual Conference, June 23-26 in Indianapolis. All annual conference registrants have access to CIDCO conference sessions.
