The programme of this year’s congress is primarily focused on refrigeration, with our desire to mark the centenary of refrigeration science and engineering and the International. Institute of Refrigeration, as an intergovernmental institution, which has an aim to improve refrigeration for the benefit of the whole mankind. In addition to refrigeration sections, the thematic fields of the congress include the issues related to heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration, energy efficiency of HVAC&R systems and construction buildings, thermal comfort conditions, use of renewables, district systems and lifecycle cost analysis for buildings and systems.Successful projects that have been presented deal with “green buildings”, intelligent systems and buildings, the (EU) European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and its implementation in Serbia, use of simulations in the analysis and optimization of systems and buildings, integrated design of buildings, special buildings and facilities and solutions of airconditioning systems therein, zero energy buildings, etc. In addition...

ICEBO 2009 will take place November 17-18, 2009 in Austin, Texas.  The conference will be at the AT&T Conference Center, a LEEDs-certified building, on the campus of The University of Texas.  ICEBO 2009 is hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory located at Texas A&M University, College Station and co-hosted by Austin Energy.  For registration and more detailed information, please visit our website.  The conference will bring together an international group of practitioners and researchers who routinely minimize the energy consumption, operating costs, and environmental impacts of buildings while improving the health and comfort of occupants. ICEBO 2009 is the leading forum for timely exchanges among individuals interested in the continuous improvement and maintenance of buildings, their energy usage and environmental impact. The topics to be discussed are: Worldwide best practices in commissioning, retro-commissioning, and Continuous Commissioning® new and existing buildingsMission-critical facilities (hospitals, data centers, central utility plants, etc.) operation optimization for best performance and maximum energy savingsImproved building automation, controls, and...
