professionals, academics and students in building performance simulation issues
and applications. The 2010 conference is hosted by Manitoba Hydro, in
collaboration with National Research Council of Canada. It will be
held on May 19 and 20, 2010 (pre-conference and post-conference
workshops on May 18 and 21, 2010).</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>
