[Ibpsausa] IBPSA book "Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation"

this to IBPSA-USA (forgive the cross postings)

Dear all,

This is just to make you aware of the recently 
published book “Building Performance Simulation 
for Design and Operation”  (Spon Press, London, 2011).

The book begins with an introduction to the 
concepts of performance indicators and targets, 
followed by a discussion on the role of building 
simulation in performance-based building design 
and operation. This sets the ground for in-depth 
discussion of performance prediction for energy 
demand, indoor environmental quality (including 
thermal, visual, indoor air quality and moisture 
phenomena), HVAC and renewable system 
performance, urban level modeling, building 
operational optimization and automation, and future outlook.

Produced in cooperation with IBPSA, and featuring 
contributions from 21 co-authors, this 536 pages 
book provides a unique and comprehensive overview 
of building performance simulation for the 
complete building life-cycle from conception to 
demolition. It is primarily intended for advanced 
students in building services engineering, and in 
architectural, environmental or mechanical 
engineering; and will be useful for building and 
systems designers and operators.

The table of contents is as follows:
