ASHRAE's 2010 Annual Conference takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 26-30. With a conference theme of Raising Efficiency to New Levels, the technical program will feature a wide-range of programs and papers addressing the energy efficient system design for high elevations and dry climates.

It's appropriate that ASHRAE, with a commitment to net zero energy buildings and other energy efficiency programs, is holding the conference in Albuquerque, which is committed to sustainability. The city has identified a number of green goals, including water use, buildings, energy and emissions, forestry and agriculture and transportation. In addition, Albuquerque was ranked in 2008 as second most affordable city for a vacation by AAA.

September 25, 2009 is the deadline for submitting full technical papers and/or conference paper abstracts. For more information or to submit, click on Call for Papers.
