• Per Heiselberg, Head of Zero Emissions Buildings research center, Professor at Aalborg University, Hybrid ventilation Center, Denmark
• Paul Torcellini, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Boulder, USA (to be confirmed)
• Prof. Marco Perino, Dipartimento di Energetica, Politecnico di Torino, Italy

Sessions and program

• Advanced materials technologies
• Climate-adapted low-energy envelope technologies
• Energy supply systems and services
• Energy efficient use and operation
• Concepts and strategies for zero emission buildings

Abstract submission
Researchers and PhD candidates are invited to submit abstracts according to the format described in call for abstracts to Matthias Haase. Based on the submitted abstract, acceptance will be given for poster or oral presentation. The deadline for submission is 1 March 2010.

Proceedings
There will be a conference proceedings book published based on the presentations from this parallel together with a book of abstracts. In addition will the best 8 papers be published in a special edition of an international journal.
