The 17th Annual Global Insulation Conference will be held October 16-17 at the Maritim Hotel in München, Germany. The event examines insulation market trends, technological development in insulation and insulation production advances. The 2023 event attracted over 430 delegates from 48 countries and featured 60 exhibition booths and 30 presentations; and the 2024 event is expected to draw even more!
RIMA International is pleased to be part of the program sponsoring guest keynote Dr. Hamed Saber from the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, who will be presenting on “Evaluation of the Thermal Performance of Reflective Insulation Assemblies”.
Dr. Saber is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Jubail Industrial College, and the Chair of Research and Consultations Department at the Deanship of Research and Industrial Development, Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He has work experience at the Institute for Space and Nuclear Studies and the Chemical and Nuclear Department at University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States), and the National Research Council of Canada (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Over the course of his career, he has received several awards and published over 250 publications. Most recently, he was listed in the top 2% of the scholars based on the study by Stanford University. His areas of interest include building science, building envelope and structure, Heat, Air and Moisture (HAM) transport in building envelopes, CFD, static energy conversion using thermoelectrics, electronic cooling, and numerical modeling using finite element methods, fire safety and fire performance in houses.
