*See How You Can Contribute to Project StaSIO*

As a advocate of performance-based design, have you ever wanted a library
of simulation graphics to help you show off the value of energy and
daylight modeling? The research committee recently launched the
crowd-sourced Project StaSIO website to aggregate compelling, beautiful,
and clear simulation output graphics.*Learn more about the project and
sign-up for their upcoming webinar on May 24th*.

*President's Message: A Nurturing IBPSA-USA*

I’m dragging out the springtime theme again, this time as a season of
nurturing. Here at my place, six chicks are getting their start on life and
would like a little support. And at this same moment, there’s a brood of
prospective simulationists out there who could also use our support.
