Abstract deadline January 16th

 

Hosted by

Energy Systems Laboratory and Florida Solar Energy Center

 

About the Abstracts

 

Technical papers are solicited for the 2006 Symposium on Improving
Building Systems in Hot and Humid Climates to be held July 24-26, 2006.
For the first time the Symposium will be held outside of Texas. ESL's
past relationship with the Florida Solar Energy Center provided an
opportunity to partner with a world class academic and research center
for energy studies. The conference site will be the Buena Vista Palace
Hotel (formerly the Wyndham Palace Resort) in Orlando, Florida.  This
unique and premier conference focuses principally on building air
conditioning performance in hot and humid climates. Attendees are upper
level energy managers, building managers, architects, designers,
consultants, utility representatives, code officials, equipment
manufacturers and suppliers, consumers and researchers from around the
world.

 

The purpose of the symposium is to accomplish technology transfer-from
the laboratories of leading academic institutions, research
organizations and industry; and from the best practices of practicing
design and operations professionals-to the building industry at large.
Identification of new equipment and processes is of major importance.
However, the paper and presentation should be free of commercialism.

 

Authors wishing to present a paper for consideration must submit a
200-400 word abstract of each proposed paper to the Program Coordinator
no later than Monday, January 16, 2006 (electronic format required). All
abstracts will be peer reviewed, and the acceptance based on content
quality, originality and composition.  A draft copy of an accepted paper
must be received by Monday, March 20, 2006.  The final corrected
manuscripts must be received by Monday, May 29, 2006.

 

Papers are usually allotted 20-25 minutes for presentation, followed by
a five-minute discussion.  The presenter of each paper receives a
reduced registration rate to the symposium, which includes a copy of the
proceedings and admission to all technical sessions.  

 

Instructions for Abstracts

 

1.   Abstracts should be 200 to 400 words in length.

2.   Include one or more keywords from the list of topics.

3.   Include title and all co-authors, address, phone number, fax number
and email address.

Include primary author's full name and company position.

Include short cover biography of primary author.

6.   Abstracts must be received by Monday, January 16, 2006 (electronic
format required).
