TC 4.7 organizes symposia, seminars and forums relating to energy calculations, that are held at ASHRAE's 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 ).

Calls for Abstracts and Papers:

None at this time.

Past Program Events

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.
