The 16th Symposium on Improving Building Systems in Hot and Humid Climates was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 16-17 in Dallas, Texas. The purpose of the symposium is to accomplish knowledge and technology transfer for the building energy efficiency industry —from the laboratories of leading academic institutions, research organizations, U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Program and from the best practices of operations professionals—to the building industry at large. Identification of new equipment, processes and methodologies is of major importance. This was a benchmark year for the Symposium in that the Southern Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) was a primary supporter of the Symposium. The SEEC is comprised of the Florida Solar Energy Center, a research institute of the University of Central Florida, the Southface Energy Institute, a regional non-profit organization and the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M. The Symposium has traditionally been hosted by Texas A&M’s Energy Systems Laboratory but with the recent creation of the SEEC, a DOE funded endeavor, the three member organizations will equally share the responsibility of hosting this and future Symposiums. The SEEC consortium will host the 17th Symposium in 2010 to be held in the Southeast United States. For More Information:
