ATLANTA, GA, January 21, 2025 -- ASHRAE has announced a call for presentations for the 2025 ASHRAE Building Decarbonization Conference to be held October 22-24, 2025 at the Westin Chicago River North in Chicago, IL.

The conference will be an information and idea exchange between stakeholders in the built environment industry concerning the improvement of energy efficiency, health, comfort, and reduction of GHG emissions in new and existing buildings and systems. This is ASHRAE’s 4th Building Decarbonization conference and will feature a significant focus on strategies and solutions for scaling up building decarbonization.

The scope of the conference will cover a range of buildings from residential to small, medium and large commercial buildings to campus and portfolio buildings. The conference will bring together engineering and technical solution providers with building owners, utility program managers, local governments and financial services providers who are increasingly challenged to meet stringent building decarbonization goals, policies and regulations in a practical, cost-effective manner.

Potential presenters are invited to submit proposals for panel and seminar sessions (60 or 90 min):
  • Panel: 3-4 industry experts, including one moderator, on a current topic of interest or team case study. Only one slide deck per panel required;
  • Seminar: 2-4 speakers and session Chair, on one of the conference topics. Individual slide decks for each speaker required.
Please note that presentation slots are very limited and selection will be based on a peer review process.
