At this full day event (9am-6pm) seven software vendors/developers including <b>DesignBuilder, IES, Sefaira, Bentley, IDA, BIM HVACTool, and ENSIMS</b> will present their latest achievements and case studies. It is a great opportunity to gain insight on the technical features of the tools, and meet the developers in person for future collaborations. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'>Full details and the booking URL of the event can be found here: http://ukmidlands.ashraechapters.org/wiki/doku.php?id=events:dl_tools-2017-05-17#advances_in_building_simulation_and_bim.
