The International Ground Source Heat Pump Association is pleased to invite you to submit papers for the 2022 IGSHPA Research Track, to be held in conjunction with the meetings of IGSHPA and the National Ground Water Association. IGSHPA has previously held a Research Track in Denver in 2017 and a Research Conference in Stockholm in 2018. Like the previous two conferences, papers will undergo peer-review to ensure quality. Papers in the conference proceedings will be freely available with DOI numbers on the IGSHPA website and a permanent archive, OKSHARE (see links below). Selected papers will be invited to submit expanded versions for a special issue of the journal Science and Technology for the Built Environment.
This will be a great opportunity to exchange the latest research ideas and results with leading researchers. Because this is one track of the IGSHPA conference, there will also be the opportunity to hear industry presentations, meet with people from industry and see the latest industry developments at the combined IGSHPA and NGWA exhibition.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstracts due: March 28, 2022
Abstract reviews finished & authors notified: 2 weeks after submission
Papers due: May 30, 2022
Paper reviews complete & authors notified: September 22, 2022
ABSTRACT AND PAPER SUBMISSIONS
One-page abstracts will be submitted for review first, followed by papers with a maximum length of 8 pages. Example/template files in Word are available on the conference website.
