Themes & topics
This HVAC & Energy conference focuses on HVAC systems, indoor climate, energy performance and management of buildings in cold climate, and on aspects in energy production, building envelopes and building automation linked or strongly interacting with HVAC systems and energy performance.
Two types of conference papers are welcome:
- Scientific Scopus conference papers with recommended length of 6-8 pages;
- Technical papers not necessarily applying scientific methods, dealing with case studies, project introductions or other practical questions with recommended length of 2-6 pages.
Both types of papers will undergo the review process by the scientific committee, however with different criteria. Purely commercial presentations are not accepted.
Scientific papers are published in E3S Web of Conferences and indexed in Scopus and other databases including attribution of DOI Names and indexation to CrossRef®.
