> We have received well over 50 research papers, forming a full two-days of
> parallel technical sessions (a detailed schedule is available under *Conference
> Information* at http://esim.ca).
> Several exciting features of the eSim conference are (complete
> descriptions at http://esim.ca/):
>
>    - Conference venue is the Pier 21 Immigration Museum on the Halifax
>    Waterfront where over a million immigrants entered Canada.
>    - Keynote speakers are Christoph Reinhart (MIT Architecture) and Mark
>    Riley (former Sustainable Buildings Director at CanmetEnergy).
>    - Technical tour of the NSCC Centre for the Built Environment (LEED
>    Silver)
>    - Social events at the Seaport Farmers Market (LEED Platinum) and
>    banquet at the historic Waterfront Warehouse.
>    - Half and full-day workshops on modeling and simulation, communities,
>    and certification tools.
>    - Reduced rate accommodations at the Westin Hotel are within a 10
>    minute walk from all events.

> *About the eSim 2012 Conference:*
> eSim brings together professionals, academics and students interested in
> building performance simulation advancements and applications. The 2012
> conference is hosted by Dalhousie University in collaboration with Natural
> Resources Canada. It will be held in the beautiful port city of Halifax,
> Canada on May 2 and 3, 2012, with workshops held one day pre and post the
> conference. Themes of the eSim conference surround the modeling and
> simulation of processes and performance of the built environment. This
> includes all aspects of building simulation ranging from the simulators
> themselves to results of unique and innovative models. Coverage includes
> modeling physical processes (energy, occupant comfort, daylighting, etc.),
> control methods, community energy systems, building simulator tools, use of
> tools with building code/incentive programs, and performance
> visualization/validation.
>
> We hope you will join us for the 2012 eSim Building Simulation Conference
> on 1-4 May. We invite you to explore our website at http://esim.ca/.
