ASHRAE Opens Submissions for 2027 Conference

ASHRAE, the professional society for heating and cooling engineers, is accepting paper submissions for its 2027 Annual Conference, set for June 12-16, 2027, in New Orleans. This is an industry event where researchers and HVAC professionals present findings on topics like building decarbonization, indoor air quality, and heat pump and refrigeration technology. Authors whose abstracts are accepted have until February 17, 2027, to submit full papers. For a homeowner, this isn't something to act on directly. But conferences like this are where the research behind future home energy technology gets discussed first, including advances in heat pumps, refrigerants, ventilation, and strategies for cutting a building's carbon emissions. Findings presented here sometimes shape the equipment standards and rebate-eligible technologies that show up in home energy programs down the road. There's no homeowner deadline or rebate tied to this announcement. It's simply a call for industry papers and presentations, the kind of event that happens in the background of the energy-efficiency world rather than something that changes what's available for your house today.
