The Wood Heater Design Challenge series of workshops will bring together stakeholders from across the world to discuss topics related to R&D advances in wood heater research, specifically related to residential heating. The purpose is to engage leaders and engineers of the wood heater industry along with academics, experts and others by creating forums that they can have input to.
The workshops are designed to include short presentations around a topic and then include an open discussion related to a topical area. These workshops will be interactive, and participation is highly encouraged!
Workshop 2: Advances in Instrumentation Used for Wood Heater Testing and Field Data Collection
Residential biomass heaters can play an important role in a future, clean energy portfolio. However, better evaluation practices are needed to inform the development of efficient biomass appliances that consistently achieve low emissions both during certification testing and in-field operation. Workshop 2 held on March 28–29 2022, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. ET each day, will provide a forum to share information on more accessible methods for evaluating heaters’ thermal efficiency, pollution emissions, and wider impacts on public health and the environment.
This forum will advance participants’ knowledge of upcoming test methods and tools that are key to informing targeted innovation in the heater manufacturing sector and enabling regulatory agencies to evaluate the impacts of these improved biomass appliances.
