The early-bird registration deadline has been extended until 7th of
June to get the reduced participation fee.<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">We have, for the first
time,
incorporated an Applications Day (click on the Applications Day link on
the conference website). This
is a unique opportunity for practitioners involved in building design
and
performance assessment to relate their experiences using simulation
software,
to hear what others are up to, and to interact with the worldwide
community of
software developers. The day features a varied programme including
practitioner
presentations, keynote speakers from within the industry and software
vendor
presentations. There will also be an accompanying
exhibition, running for the duration of the conference. A
special one-day registration is available for this day if you cannot
attend the whole conference.<br>
</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The keynote speaker for the Applications Day is <font
face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Bill Bordass of William
Bordass
Associates, a building performance troubleshooter and adviser on usable
building design. He will kick off the day with a keynote talk,
reflecting on
the current experience of practitioners in the use of building
simulation, and
challenging the audience to find new and better ways to work together
on
improving buildings of the future.<br>
</span></font></p>
<font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This will be
followed by parallel sessions of applications-related papers
interspersed with simulation tool vendors who will present their latest
developments, features and capabilities during five short plenary
sessions. The vendors presenting are </span></font><font face="Arial"

from four eminent speakers. The plenary topics include the role of
simulation
in regulatory compliance, future developments in simulation technology,
and the
needs of architectural and M&E practices for dynamic simulation
tools. </span></font><font face="Arial" size="3"><span
