CLIMA 2019

It is a pleasure to invite you to participate in the 13th REHVA World Congress CLIMA 2019, the leading international scientific congress in the field of Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), that will be held from 26th till 29th of May in Romania.

The venue will be its capital Bucharest, the 6th European town in population terms and the largest city of Romania, a very alive cultural, industrial and financial center, offering historical or modern conference venues, very cosy hotels, appealing restaurants, robust infrastructure and a lot of quite unique places like traditional museums, recreational green areas and genuine "shopping arcades".

Under the heading ”BUILT ENVIRONMENT FACING CLIMATE CHANGE”, the proposed main topics for the 13th CLIMA Congress will put into discussion the capacity of the new or existing refurbished buildings together with their technical systems, especially HVAC&S&R, to counteract in an energy efficient manner the climate changes in order to keep inside an optimum comfort, simultaneously with the security of occupants:

1. Advanced HVAC&R&S Technology and Indoor Environment Quality
2. High Energy Performance and Sustainable Buildings
3. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the Intelligent Building Management
4. Sustainable Urbanization and Energy System Integration

Some expected figures of CLIMA 2019 congress:
- more than 100 CLIMA 2019 ambassadors and 50 partners promoting this event worldwide;
- more than 1000 attendees (researchers, engineers, architects, students asf);
- more than 750 papers (with a special care for the selection of those to be published in like Scopus or Web of Science indexed journals);
- more than 20 technical and scientific workshops.

As the REHVA World Congress CLIMA has never been held in Eastern Europe in the last 20 years, we greatly appreciate, as your hosts in May 2019, the opportunity to reciprocate the hospitality we have received from the REHVA society members throughout the years.
