note that the deadline for abstracts is 1 September 2008.<BR><BR>IBPSA will hold
its 11th bi-annual international conference, the leading international
conference in building performance simulation, in summer 2009 at the University
of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, has an unrivalled
choice of museums, theatres, parks, science centre and shopping, set within some
of the finest Victorian architecture in Europe. In addition, Glasgow has a
worldwide reputation as a welcoming city and is firmly established and
experienced as a major centre for conferences and international
events.<BR><BR>The conference organizers are seeking high quality papers and
will limit the number of peer-reviewed oral presentations. Submissions will
therefore be rigorously peer-reviewed. Simulation-based papers on the following
themes are welcomed:<BR><BR><BR>1. advances in
building physics<BR>2. human aspects of the indoor
environment<BR>3. building
services<BR>4. commissioning and
operation<BR>5. energy capture and
conversion<BR>6. advances in
applications<BR>7. validation and
calibration<BR>8. software
issues<BR>9. simulation in design
practice<BR>10. regulation/code
compliance<BR>11. application day case studies*<BR><BR>*
One day of the conference will be devoted to practical applications,
particularly focusing on simulation in practice with illustrative case studies.
Therefore, a limited number of additional papers are invited in order to enable
practitioners to demonstrate the benefits flowing from the recent upsurge in the
use of simulation in building design. If you wish to contribute such a paper,
please ensure it is marked as an application day case study in the abstract
submission.<BR><BR>Abstracts should be in plain text and no more than 500 words.
They should describe clearly the research objectives and new knowledge arising
from the research.<BR><BR>Key Dates<BR><BR>September 1st
