SUMMARY:Ninth International Conference on Energy Research and Development (ICERD – 9)
DESCRIPTION:The objective of the conference is to optimize the utilization of basic energy resources in the major energy consuming sectors in the arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula. \nThe world can no longer sustain its current pattern of energy consumption. With climate change becoming increasingly urgent\, it is imperative that we all adopt effective energy conservation practices. This challenge is even more pressing in regions with high ambient temperatures\, where cooling demands can be extreme—air conditioning alone accounts for up to 70% of energy usage during peak cooling seasons.” \nTo confront this crisis\, we must embrace cleaner alternative energy sources and implement conservation strategies in ways that are open\, inclusive\, and pragmatic. Ninth International Conference on Energy Research and Development (ICERD 9) will serve as a vital platform\, uniting stakeholders from across sectors to collaboratively address this crucial issue and chart a path toward a sustainable energy future\,” said Walid Chakroun\, Conference Chair. \nThe conference related to the latest research and development in the field of energy is divided into four parts: oral presentations and discussions of accepted papers; lectures by distinguished invited speakers in the energy field; a panel discussion with experts and decision-makers to generate research ideas for sustainable energy use; and a showcase of products and innovations from energy companies in Kuwait and the Gulf region. \nThe topics will include but are not limited to: \n\nEnergy Conversion and Management.\nEnergy Conservation.\nFuels and Alternatives.\nEnergy Policy and Planning.\nCombined and Co-generation Energy Systems.\nAir-conditioning & Refrigeration Systems.\nEnergy & Environmental Issues.\nEnergy and Sustainable Development.\nRenewable Energy Technologies.\nEnergy Storage.\nThermodynamics\, Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics.\nThermodynamic Optimization and Exergy Analysis\nPlant and Facilities Mechanical Integrity\nEmerging Energy Technology

SUMMARY:ASHRAE Regina Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Designing for Northern\, Remote\, and Arctic Communities\nASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer: Niss Feiner \nBuildings designed for northern\, remote\, and Arctic communities face challenges that are fundamentally different from those encountered in southern urban environments. Extreme cold\, prolonged darkness\, thaw-sensitive permafrost\, limited transportation access\, diesel-generated electricity\, and unique water and wastewater infrastructure systems significantly influence mechanical and building design decisions. \nThis presentation introduces the climatic\, geographic\, and infrastructural realities that shape building systems in Canada’s North. Using ASHRAE climate data and real project examples\, attendees will examine how extreme temperature differentials\, limited fuel supply chains\, and high electricity costs affect heating\, ventilation\, and energy strategy. Topics include ventilation preheat requirements\, combustion air implications\, frozen flue-gas risk\, tank-based potable water systems\, tank-based sewage holding and disposal\, utilidor infrastructure\, and the thermal protection of permafrost through raised foundations and thermosyphon systems. \nBeyond technical considerations\, the lecture explores the logistical and economic constraints of remote construction\, including sealift supply chains\, ice roads\, long procurement timelines\, and infrastructure replacement challenges. Attendees will gain insight into how limited access and high material costs demand long-term forecasting\, resilience\, and simplified system strategies. \nImportantly\, the presentation also addresses the cultural and governance context in which engineering work occurs. Northern communities are home to diverse Indigenous Nations with treaty and land claim agreements that directly affect project approval and execution. The lecture highlights the importance of cultural awareness\, engagement with regional governing bodies operating under land claim agreements\, and sensitivity to sustenance lifestyles and local priorities. Historical examples—including the legacy of resource extraction and large-scale environmental remediation efforts—illustrate why trust\, transparency\, and environmental stewardship are central to engineering practice in these regions. \nAttendees will leave with: \n\nA practical understanding of how Arctic climate conditions impact HVAC and plumbing system design\nInsight into off-grid energy realities and diesel-dependent electrical systems\nStrategies for protecting permafrost and maintaining infrastructure in extreme cold\nAwareness of logistical planning requirements unique to remote regions\nA framework for culturally informed engineering engagement in northern communities\n\nThis session challenges conventional southern-based design assumptions and equips engineers\, architects\, contractors\, and policy makers with the contextual understanding necessary to design systems that are resilient\, respectful\, and sustainable in some of the most demanding environments in North America. \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *		\n			you Will guests\n			\n		\n		Will you be attending?YesNoMaybeHow many additional guests are you bringing?None\, just me.+1+2+3 or moreDietary Restrictions / Allergies?Any comments or questions?Submit

SUMMARY:The Seventh International Conference on Efficient Building Design
DESCRIPTION:The objective of the conference is to support meaningful innovation for the development of sustainable built environments at individual building and city levels. This is achieved by identifying and advancing smart/AI-based solutions\, and technologies aimed at significantly improving the effectiveness of heating\, ventilation\, and cooling costs and enhancing resilience of building and cities in future warmer climates. The ultimate goal is to contribute to efforts accelerating the realization of carbon reduction targets. Papers are encouraged that explore integrated strategies\, policies\, and technologies enhancing urban resilience\, resource efficiency\, and climate responsiveness across various sectors. \nThe conference\, organized by ASHRAE\, the ASHRAE Lebanese Chapter\, the Munib and Angela Masri Institute of Energy and Natural Resources and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the American University of Beirut\, will be held on October 8-9\, 2026 at The American University of Beirut (AUB)\, Beirut\, Lebanon. \nThe conference topics include but are not limited to the following: \n\nDesign interventions for climate resilience of building and communities\nSustainable healthy building design including ventilation and indoor air quality\nInnovations in building materials for passive and active envelops\nEnergy Efficient heating and cooling towards sustainable solutions\nUrban heat island and solutions for enhanced outdoor thermal comfort\nBuilding performance: models\, metrics and standards
