*President's Message - August 2018: Yes, it’s a mouthful, but it’s worth it*

I hope to see you soon at the Building Performance Analysis Conference and
SimBuild, Co-organized by ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA. (Yes, we are a group of
marketing geniuses with advanced degrees in conference-name development.) I
figured that a name like that calls for some background explanation, so
here you go.

*Monthly Board Member Message: Dimitri Contoyannis*

If you are reading this newsletter, it's safe to say that you are probably
passionate about building simulation and think that all buildings would
benefit from energy modeling. But, not all building projects are utilizing
this analysis!
