<div dir="ltr"><div style>Fellow Building Simulationists,</div><div style><br></div><div style>I know you've already seen several emails about our proposal to improve how people get answers to their simulation related questions. If you haven't, here is a link to the site:</div>
<div style><br></div><div style><a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/45232/building-energy-modeling">http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/45232/building-energy-modeling</a><br></div><div style><br></div>
<div style>Thanks so much to those of you who have already joined and followed the effort. We now have more than 200 followers (which is more than most of these sites can claim)!</div><div style><br></div><div style>BUT it's not only the number of followers that will help us realize our goal. We need everyone to VOTE! Voting on questions is how we prove to the people hosting the site that our community has a well defined topic and scope to warrant a site specifically for questions about "Building Performance Simulation & Analysis".</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>We are so close to moving on to our next phase. Even if a handful of people who have already signed up return to the site to use their allotted 5 votes, we can probably reach our goal of 40 questions with 10 or more votes within a matter of days.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>So please, take just a few minutes to go to the site and vote on some questions that do not yet have 10 votes and help us improve the support for our community!</div><div style><br></div><div style>
