<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB>The BS2011 Scientific
Committee has great pleasure in inviting you to put the dates <b>14-17 November
2011</b> in your calendar as the Building Simulation 2011 Conference in
Wellington, New Zealand. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB>We hope to
engage with you in an examination of the role of building performance
simulation in a world that increasingly looks to our community to deliver
buildings that perform better. The construction industry is under pressure to
deliver good quality buildings that meet the needs of their occupants and at
the same time have a zero impact on the environment or demand on energy
resources. Performance simulation is becoming an integral part of that delivery
process<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for abstracts with details of the submission process at the <a
href="http://www.bs2011.org.nz">www.bs2011.org.nz</a> web site will be released
in August. Submission of abstracts will be by 1 December 2010. Conference
brochure can also be downloaded from this web site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The conference themes are listed below. In
line with recent Building Simulation conference practice, the BS2011 organisers
would particularly like to invite 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. An ‘applications day’ has been set aside for
this purpose within the overall conference programme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB>The
International Building Performance Simulation Association Conference, gathers
the world’s leading experts and researchers on all aspects of modelling
and simulation of the performance of the built environment. The aim of this
prestigious conference, which is held every two years, is to share leading-edge
ideas, and to explore ways in which performance simulation can enhance the
quality of life and sustainability provided by our built environment. Recent
conferences have been held in Beijing and Glasgow and attracted over 300 papers
on a broad range of topics from advances in modelling light heat and sound in
buildings to practical case studies of the role of simulation in design
practice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The host of BS2011 is IBPSA Australasia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB>CONFERENCE THEMES:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The committee is interested in all aspects
of the simulation of the performance of buildings and suggests the following
themes may help organise your thoughts in preparation of a relevant abstract
and paper: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>1. advances in the modeling of building
energy and mass flows – light, heat, sound, and air<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>2. developments in the modeling of human
comfort and performance in the built environment<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>3. improvements in the empirical and
theoretical modeling of building systems (HVAC or openable windows, or dynamic
shading systems)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
