<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In 2000, an informal email group was initiated
between professionals and academics working on various aspects of multiple
skin technologies (active facades, double skin facades, airflow windows and
facades, etc.). Forum topics included modelling and testing of various
'multiskin' systems, as well as a few 'practice-related' issues. Participants
were mainly from the Netherlands, UK, US and Canada; mostly academics but
several professionals from well-known facade engineering firms participated as
well. Forum activity varied over time, some grad students moved to other things
once their theses were submitted, new members popped in, etc. As this informal
discussion group became increasingly difficult to maintain with time, a new
Multiskin Yahoo Group was initiated ...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Those of you interested in multiskins are invited
to join (<A

face=Arial size=2>). Some participants in other mailing lists have sent some
interesting queries on multiskins lately and are encouraged to re-submit them in
this forum ...</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>On the web site (<A
href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/multiskin/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/multiskin/</A>),
you'll find a few useful bookmarks under the 'LINKS' tab - new bookmarks may be
added by members. More useful to students in particular is a 'related
publications list' found under the 'FILES' tab. All the references point to
publications in English, yet many excellent publications have been published in
Dutch, German and French. References are essentially limited to multiskin
technologies - there are of course numerous indirectly-related publications out
there, such as on heat transfer coefficient modelling, optics, solar energy,
etc., but they have been omitted as the total number of publications would
easily exceed the hundreds. If you wish to add new references, please post them!
- they will be added ASAP ...</DIV>
