Ashrae Update 2022 Building Performance Analysis Conference to Focus on Better Buildings, Less Carbon ATLANTA — The 2022 Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild will bring attention to carbon reduction strategies through the application of simulation and modeling over the entire building life cycle. Co-sponsored by ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA, the conference will take place Sept. 14-16 in Chicago and will also be offered virtually. The theme of the conference, “Better Buildings, Less Carbon: Supporting the Transition to a Clean and Just Climate,” focuses on research and methodology for minimizing operational carbon in buildings. “The recent changes in the world energy markets and evolving regulations continue to increase demand for improved performance of our building stock,” said Conference Vice Chair John Bynum. “The Building Performance Analysis Conference seeks to bring together professionals across disciplines to share ideas and work towards a more efficient and balanced future for the whole life cycle of the built environment. Attendees will be able to join traditional presentation sessions from individual presenters as well as sessions designed to encourage audience participation. Together with IBPSA-USA, we look forward to welcoming attendees to Chicago in-person or virtually via our online platform.” The conference features more than 50 paper and 40 non-paper presentations, along with three keynote presentations by leading industry practitioners and academic researchers. Popular topics include a debate on thermal comfort, occupant health and well-being, modeling for future and extreme weather events, building envelope design and performance, urban-scale modeling, and innovations in passive heating and cooling. Newly added session formats include the “Solution Room,” which presents attendees with an opportunity to interact with their peers and “crowd source” answers to their burning questions. “Fishbowl” is an informal, informative discussion among peers regarding modeling and modeling-related issues that affect the industry in a major way, while the “SoapBox,” is designed to allow chosen attendees to present a topic of their choice to the audience. Submit a topic for the SoapBox session: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5NQHYTV View the full conference program at https://bit.ly/3SIMOyY Teams from around the world will come together to create an architectural design and a performance analysis model based on model building data in the 2022 ASHRAE LowDown Showdown modeling competition. (Visit https://bit.ly/3dlto3h for more information.) The 2022 competition will ask the question “How low can you go?” in reference to operational energy, operational carbon emissions, embodied/emitted carbon, and water consumption. Teams will design a K-5 school in Albuquerque, N.M., to serve 450 students in an educational setting that provides appropriate spaces for elementary education as well as community uses — and can be adapted to future challenges and changes. Virtual registration cost is $300 for ASHRAE members ($350 for non-members). Earn Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits by attending sessions listed in the Technical Program. State of N.Y. PDHs, AIA LUs and LEED AP credits will also be awarded for select sessions.

ASHRAE Announces 2022 Student Design Competition Winners ATLANTA — ASHRAE announced the winners of 2022 ASHRAE Student Design Competition and The Setty Family Foundation Applied Engineering Challenge. The competitions recognize outstanding student design projects, promote teamwork, and allow students to apply their practical design knowledge of energy-efficient H AC systems. This year’s Student Design Competition focused on the design of a new 23,300 m2, two-story performing arts building on a higher education campus in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. As part of the project, new HVAC systems were designed for the performing arts building. The building consists of offices, classrooms, studios, performance halls, auditorium, offices, food services, and a parking area Teams competed in one of the three categories: • HVAC Design Calculations • HVAC System Selection • Integrated Sustainable Building Design (ISBD) First Place in the HVAC Design Calculations category was awarded to Cheung Wan Ki, Chow Sze Wah, Sum Ho Yin and Yung Ho Lam of the University of Hong Kong, Pok Fu Lam, 64 | Chief Engineer 0922 issue.indd 64 8/22/22 3:28 PM
Hong Kong. Dr. Benjamin P.L. Ho was the team’s supervisor. Placing 1st in the HVAC System Selection category were Donald Black, Jr., Mason Blank, Sarah Halstead, Isabella Zuccaro and Weston Kimmey from Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania. William Bahnfleth Ph.D., P.E. was the team’s advisor. Receiving 1st Place in Integrated Sustainable Building Design category were Bagus Rangin, Edward Joshua, Harrys Argaditya, Nadhira Izzatur, Rzki Ramadan and Sutan Azhari from Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. Ardiyansyah and Dr. -Ing Ova Candra Dewi S.T., M.Sc. were the team’s advisors. In the 2022 Setty Family Foundation Applied Engineering Challenge, students were challenged to design an ultra-cold refrigeration system for vaccine delivery that is capable of being transported to all global locations. The system could be designed as a standalone container, or in such a way that it can be retrofitted into an existing truck. The temperature was required to remain steady and maintain at -70°C. The system took into account multiple system variables, including space temperatures, humidity, envelope, portability and outdoor conditions to determine the best possible environment for the vaccines. Axel Dawne, Farhan Afdhalul Ihsan, Febricetta Zahraketzia Sarwono, I Made Wiratathya Putramas, Joel Frederciko Sumbowo and Kanita Prameswari from the Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia received 1st Place. Rahmat Romadhon, S.T., M.T. was the team’s advisor. The projects will be recognized during the 2023 ASHRAE Winter Conference, Feb. 4-8 in Atlanta, Ga. The Winter Conference is held in conjunction with the ASHRAE cosponsored AHR Expo, which will be Feb. 6-8 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
