As another  member of the IBPSA-USA Editorial Committee, I would also express my strong support for IBPSA-USA to establish an online directory of Bldg Simulation professionals. Back in the old days when LBNL's Simulation Research Group maintained the quarterly User News up until 2001 or so, that newsletter maintained such a list, although the numbers of simulation "experts" was quite small,

Elizabeth, I took the liberty of forwarding this e-mail thread to the IBPSA Board to stimulate more response and comments from other Board members.

>> Before I jump on this rabbit trail – Malik you might try Chris Jones in the Toronto area, as a starting point.  I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with him before and he occasionally posts here on the lists as well.  If he isn’t immediately available for something like 1-on-1 training, he have some referral suggestions for that particular region.  Hit me up off-list if you’d like some other recommendations for remote trainers.

Perhaps there are more databases like the BEMP listing we could add to the pot – does IBPSA maintain a similar (& public) member directory with company location information or similar?  I think Julien is right in that even the IBPSA membership wouldn’t hit all the marks (the KC area doesn’t have a chapter yet), but between these I think we’d be at a solid starting point.  I think at one point there was a similar initiative with energy-models.com to develop a ‘trainers’ directory – maybe Bob can fill us in?
