8th ICEBO Conference, 2008
Abstract
Date: 20-22 October 2008
Location: Berlin
The International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations (ICEBO) is focussing on how buildings can achieve the performance striven for in the design phase during actual use. It is concerned with the continual enhancement of building operations. For this purpose the conference wants to organise an international discussion between the fields of specialist planning, architecture, energy management, politics, organisations and administration, investors, energy suppliers and science.
More details
Under the patronage of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, the ICEBO will this year be organised by the Institute of Building Services and Energy Design (IGS) at the Technical University of Braunschweig, and co-hosted by the Ebert-Consulting Group (EB) and the Energy System Laboratory at Texas A&M University, USA. This year, the event is taking place in Germany. After Paris (2004), Pittsburgh (2005), Shenzhen (2006) and San Francisco (2007), this time it is Berlin’s turn.
The main topics in Berlin are:
- Building and system optimisation during design, construction and operation
- Designing and evaluating sustainable and energy efficient buildings
- Implementation of the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in Germany with the new Energy Savings Ordinance EnEV 2007
- Re-commissioning and retro-commissioning of buildings
- Enhancing performance of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and components
- Measuring and verifying saving measures
- Analysis, evaluation and improvement of occupancy behaviour in buildings
- Worldwide building certification systems

»ICEBO - International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations«
The Texas A&M Energy Systems Laboratory, which belongs to the TEES (Texas Engineering Experiment Station) has been organising the ICEBO since 2001 as a forum for exchanging ideas and experience concerned with the continuous optimisation of building operations.
The conference is declaredly international in outlook. The host venue alternates between cities in the USA and the rest of the world. The organisers of the ICEBO are also active in the corresponding research committees of the IEA. Thus the ICEBO is at the same time a platform for providing information on IEA Annex 47 – Cost-Effective Commissioning of Existing and Low Energy Buildings.
