As for CPP’s involvement, in addition to attendance by Brad Cochran, John Carter will chair a session: Seminar 11 – Next-Generation Tall Buildings HVAC Design. Chicago has a strong heritage of tall buildings, including the turn-of-the-century Home Insurance Building, John Hancock Center, and Willis Tower. What are the HVAC designers of Chicago’s tall buildings up to today? This session introduces next-generation tall-building design, from new weather files, new environment containment files, low-energy tall buildings, and healthy tall buildings, to new stack-effect studies, modular building, and more. Three Chicago firms, including three HVAC designers of the twenty tallest buildings in the world by 2020, will discuss what they see on the tall-building horizon.
