The conference includes tracks focused on Principles (research and development), Practices (practical applications and case studies) and Residential (single and multifamily buildings). The conference steering committee is seeking papers focused on the development of high impact technologies and processes that are lifecycle cost effective and reduce energy use and environmental consequences, as well as case studies that are unique and new.
Paper topics include:
- Advanced building construction practices
- Air barriers and air leakage
- Basements/below-grade construction
- Building acoustics
- Building envelope commissioning
- Building envelope integrated technologies
- Building/grid interaction
- Building envelope retrofit
- Building sustainability, passive survivability, and resilience
- Cost performance optimization
- Design tools
- Dynamic and high-R windows
- Energy storage including thermal mass and phase change materials
- Fenestration and window attachments
- Heat and moisture transfer in materials and assemblies
- Heritage/historic buildings
- HVAC-envelope integration
- Innovative materials and systems
- Insulation
- Low energy buildings
- Mass timber construction
- Modular construction
- Moisture management, durability, and service life
- Monitoring, modeling, and simulation
- Offsite manufacturing
- Roofs, attics, and walls
- Standards, codes, guidelines, and test procedure development
- Weatherization
- Whole building performance
Residential Track (Includes Single & MultiFamily Buildings):
- Indoor environmental quality
