<div>Dear Bldg-Sim,<br>This is a friendly reminder that you're invited to join the event, <span class="il">Simulation</span> and <span class="il">Natural</span> <span class="il">Ventilation</span>,
on Sept 20 from 6pm-8:30pm EST, organized by IBPSA-Boston. This will be
Part One of our Advanced Modeling Series. We are delighting to have
speakers Liam Buckley of IES and Stephen Ray of MIT. As usual,
the proceedings will be webcast and web-archived. Details below.</div>

<div><strong>Remote Access Instructions:<br></strong>We will broadcast
the session using AnyMeeting. You may register ahead of time, which
would be helpful to us, or sign-in without registering once the meeting
starts. The URL for the broadcast will be: <a href="http://www.anymeeting.com/ibpsaboston1" target="_blank">http://www.anymeeting.com/ibpsaboston1</a> The registration URL is: <a href="http://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=E150DF80814F" target="_blank">http://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=E150DF80814F</a>
You will be able to hear the presentation and discussion through your
computer speakers, and to text questions for the speakers (using
AnyMeeting) to our webmaster, who will be monitoring the remote
attendees. <br>
<br><strong>Presentation Synopses:<br></strong>Liam Buckley's presentation entitled “Simulating <span class="il">Natural</span> <span class="il">Ventilation</span>” will cover a brief introduction to <span class="il">naturally</span> <span class="il">ventilated</span> buildings; why to <span class="il">naturally</span> ventilate, when to apply <span class="il">natural</span> <span class="il">ventilation</span> strategies and when not to. Liam will also investigate and challenge the recommended codes and standards for <span class="il">naturally</span> <span class="il">ventilated</span> buildings. This presentation will conclude with strategies to <span class="il">naturally</span> ventilate buildings, examine some case studies and discuss the lessons learned.<br>
Stephen Ray's presentation briefly surveys <span class="il">natural</span> <span class="il">ventilation</span> <span class="il">simulation</span>
techniques before focusing on CFD, airflow network models, and simple
analytical calculations. Specific attention is given to relevant
simplifications, complexities that deserve attention, practical modeling
tips, and advice for effectively communicating results with clients.
The presentation is interspersed with lessons learned from the design of
two Japanese office buildings and various MIT experiments.</div>
<p><strong>Speaker Bios:<br></strong>Liam Buckley – M.Eng., C.Eng. MIEI, ASHRAE BEMP<br>Liam
is a Business Development and Project Manager for IES Ltd. His
consulting work includes detailed HVAC energy analysis &
optimization, mechanical & <span class="il">natural</span> <span class="il">ventilation</span>
analysis, renewable energy systems, occupant thermal comfort,
computational fluid dynamics, daylight analysis and artificial lighting
design. Liam has experience with multiple <span class="il">natural</span> <span class="il">ventilation</span> design projects on buildings in Europe, Australia and North America.</p>
<div>Stephen Ray, Ph.D., is an MIT postdoctoral researcher whose research focuses on modeling <span class="il">natural</span> <span class="il">ventilation</span>
(NV) and monitoring a recently completed NV building in Japan. He has
used a variety of NV modeling techniques including CFD, airflow network
models, small-scale models, and full-scale mockups to aid the design of
two office buildings in Tokyo. Steve worked closely with Taisei, Nikken
Sekkei, and Takenaka during these projects and offers a unique
perspective on the use of NV <span class="il">simulation</span> among
Japan’s best design firms. As part of his Ph.D. research, he helped
develop CoolVent, an MIT-designed airflow network model, and validated
various CFD models using both full-scale and small-scale experiments.<br>
