Under the Patronage of Grußwort by Michael Glos MdB (Deutsch) The International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations (ICEBO) will take place on October 20-22 in Berlin, Germany. The conference is held under the patronage of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, hosted by the Institute of Building Services and Energy Design, Technical University of Braunschweig , the Ebert-Ingenieure Consulting Group , and co-hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory located at Texas A&M University, College Station. The rapidly growing field of enhanced building operation systematically optimizes building energy performance, reduces energy use, improves indoor air quality, and improves occupant comfort and productivity. This is achieved through a multi-phase process, called building commissioning, to ensure that the interacting energy systems in a building are properly designed, installed and operated optimally. The conference transfers research advances to the day-to-day practice of building designers, contractors, managers and operators focusing on: - Improving building performance in design, construction and operation
- Designing and evaluating green buildings
- Implementation of the European Performance of Building Directive
- Re-commissioning and retro-commissioning buildings
- Enhancing heating and cooling equipment performance
- Measuring and verifying building improvement practices
- Evaluation and improvement of user behavior
- Building rating systems worldwide
The conference will bring together an outstanding group of international professionals and researchers who strive to improve the health and comfort and minimize the energy consumption, operating costs, and environmental impacts of buildings. ICEBO 2008 will be a leading forum for timely exchanges among engineers, energy managers, government energy agencies, companies, contractors and building scientists interested in the continuous improvement and maintenance of buildings and their energy usage. The international approach of ICEBO makes it unique. The conferences alternate between USA and international sites. ICEBO 2008 will be held in Berlin, Germany. Other recent venues include - ICEBO 2007, San Francisco, California;
- ICEBO 2006, Shenzhen, China;
- ICEBO 2005, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania;
- ICEBO 2004, Paris, France.
The conferences are closely coordinated with the International Energy Agency’s annexes on building commissioning. Click here to take a virtual visit to Berlin!
