[Ellis, Peter]

Please excuse the cross-postings...

 

The abstract submission phase for SimBuild 2008 has been extended to
December 8.  

 

IBPSA-USA is accepting abstracts for SimBuild 2008 only until December

Abstracts may be submitted via our website at
http://gaia.lbl.gov/ocs/index.php/simbuild/2008

 

Student scholarships will be available on a competitive basis to be
awarded according to the quality of the submitted paper.

SimBuild 2008

 

IBPSA-USA will hold its third national conference, July 30 to August 1,
2008 on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. The
format will be similar to the two previous SimBuild conferences held at
the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2004 and at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in 2006.

 

The conference organizers are limiting the number of peer-reviewed oral
presentations in order to maintain a high level of quality in the
papers.  Submissions will therefore be rigorously peer-reviewed.
Abstracts are due by 1 December 2007 (firm deadline) and may be on a
variety of building and environmental simulation topics, such as: system
or component modeling, simulation algorithm development, CFD
applications, IAQ, acoustics, energy, lighting, life safety, weather,
city-scale environmental simulations, or case studies that exhibit
in-depth use of simulation software.  Authors should indicate a
preference for poster or oral presentation.  In addition, a limited
number of non-peer-reviewed oral presentations (seminar type) are sought
in order to enable practitioners and researchers to address
simulation-related issues of strong current interest, such as topics
related low or Zero Energy Buildings, performance based code compliance
- please contact Philip Haves <phaves at lbl.gov> <mailto:phaves at lbl.gov>
(510) 486 6512.

 

The meeting is open to all, world-wide. Being near San Francisco,
Berkeley is a convenient destination for travelers from major cities in
the U.S. and in many other countries.  U.C. Berkeley is the oldest
campus of the University of California system, which also operates the
well-known Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Lawrence Hall of
Science, the Space Sciences Laboratory, and the U.C. Botanical Garden.
The city of Berkeley contains a variety of neighborhoods with diverse
character and excellent restaurants.  The "Bay Area" is full of visitor
attractions accessible within 20 minutes, such as the city of San
Francisco, scenic mountains, and rich architecture (including the Frank
Lloyd Wright Civic Center).  Numerous wineries are within one hour
travel to the Napa and Sonoma valleys, where wine-tasting tours are
available.
