Forums
Several workshops and forums are being organized to discuss ad hoc topics that fall within the general scope of COBEE. The workshops are to initiate research collaborations or to report the progress of collaborated research. The workshops will have presentations (with or without papers) that summarize state-of-the-art research or current research progress. There will be ample time to discuss the results and plan for future collaboration or next phase research. The forums are to discuss challenges and opportunities in building energy and environment. Each forum has several presentations (with or without papers) and ample time for discussion.
The topics of the workshops and forums proposed are:
F-1 A Commentary on the Residential Energy Consumption in China: Data Secured and Required (We-F1)

Session Codes
All the sessions have been assigned a code, such as “Mo-T1.2”.
The first two letters stand for:
Su = Sunday
Mo = Monday
Tu = Tuesday
We = Wednesday
The third letter stands for:
P = Plenary sessions
T = Technical sessions
F = Forums
Po=Poster sessions
FI= Advanced Technologies from Industry
The number before the period stands for the sequence number of topics/plenaries/forums.
The number after the period is the sequential number of the sessions for the topic/plenaries/forums.
For example: “Mo-T1.2” means the second part of topic one to be presented on
Monday.
