Main Themes
Vision / Objectives of the Congress
The REHVA HVAC World Congress CLIMA is the leading international scientific congress in the field of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). After the great success of the 2022 edition, organized by the Dutch association TVVL, the baton now passes to AiCARR for the organization of CLIMA 2025: the theme of this Italian edition is “Decarbonized, healthy, and energy-conscious buildings in future climates”, CLIMA 2025 will offer professionals, academics, and companies in the HVAC sector a unique opportunity for international discussion about these “hot” topics.
“Decarbonized, healthy and energy conscious buildings in future climates”
Decarbonization: achieving the decarbonization of the European building stock by 2050 requires deep energy renovation of buildings and neighbourhoods without compromising indoor health.
Health: As we spend more time indoors, we expose ourselves to multiple pollutant sources and microbes. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed our lack of knowledge about the transmission of respiratory diseases in buildings. Conscious buildings: Increasing digitization opens new opportunities to optimize the design, operation, and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of new or refurbished nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs). However, technically advanced sensor-based measurement and control pose numerous challenges. Future climate data: The climate is changing, and we need to consider its impact on building design and operation. For instance, will more cooling or heating capacity be needed? What energy conservation technologies will be most effective in the future? At present, there are no standardized methods for estimating future climate impacts on building systems.

Abstract submissions
Abstract submissions, with a maximum of 250 words, are welcomed. Authors can choose to present their papers as oral presentations or posters. If indifferent, the option can be selected during the abstract submission under “Oral or Poster”.
While there is no limit to the number of authors per submission, only one presenting author is allowed. A biography (maximum 250 words) is required for each presenting author, and authors are requested to identify student submissions.
Authors are requested if they or their co-authors are available as a Reviewer. Please be aware to have the permission from your co-authors to give their availability.
Important dates
Submission Guidelines:
All submissions must be made through our portal. Abstracts sent via email, fax, or any other means will not be accepted. Late submissions will not be considered. Ensure your submission is original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere.
