*Conference Program*

The 2018 Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild will feature
more than 60 presentations and approximately 120 papers by leading industry
practitioners and academic researchers. Some of the selected presentations
include application of virtual reality for daylighting design, designing
for thermal nirvana, metrics and methods for carbon-neutral and net-zero
building design, automated calibration techniques and modeling standards
and strategies with the recently released ASHRAE Standard 209 on simulation
aided design.

The focus of the year's competition is for teams to go beyond just
achieving an energy efficient building, and use their ingenuity to include
elements of conference themes into their design and analysis. The
competition has 13 teams participating, a new conference record!

*Project StaSIO Competition
<https://www.projectstasio.com/graphicscompetion2018>** - Public Voting
Open Now* <https://www.projectstasio.com/graphicscompetion2018>

Project StaSIO <https://www.projectstasio.com/2018> (STandard Simulation
Inputs and Outputs), has been developed by IBPSA-USA’s Research Committee.
It is an online repository of crowd-sourced simulation graphics and case
studies organized around the ASHRAE Standard 209 framework.

IBPSA-USA ihas organized this competition
<https://www.ashrae.org/conferences/topical-conferences/2018-building-performance-analysis-conference-and-simbuild>
in
conjunction with the ASHRAE/IBPSA 2018 Building Performance Analysis
Conference and SimBuild to catalyze crowd-sourced submissions to Project
StaSIO. Through the competition, the StaSIO teams hopes to have a website
which serves as a resource for project teams all over the world looking for
ways to better communicate simulation results and improve the decision
making process at the early stage of design.
