<p class=MsoPlainText>Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I’d like to invite everyone to participate in the
SimBuild 2010 Energy Analysis Competition. The deadline for requesting clarifications
has passed, but those still wishing to participate in the competition may do
so. The competition is a great way to differentiate your firm (or yourself if
you are in the job market) with some third party recognition. There is also a
$1000 cash prize for the top professional team and $500 cash prize for the top
student team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Competition information, including additional information
based on submitted requests for clarification, is available on the competition website
(<a href="http://ibpsa.us/simbuild2010/competition.shtml">http://ibpsa.us/simbuild2010/competition.shtml</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>

the delay in posting responses, <b><u>the deadline has been extended to July 15<sup>th</sup>.</u>
