Call for Abstracts

The bi-annual conference of IBPSA-Canada is being organized to bring 
together professionals, academics and students interested in building 
performance simulation issues and applications. It will be held in 
Toronto, Canada on May 4 and 5, 2006 (pre-conference workshops May 3, 
2006) at the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design (al&d) 
located within the downtown campus of the University of Toronto.

Only original papers related to the conference topics and not published 
elsewhere will be accepted. All accepted papers accompanied by a 
conference registration will be published in the conference proceedings, 
and presented at the conference in parallel oral sessions. In the event 
submissions exceed the conference presentation quota, poster sessions 
will be held to accommodate additional papers. Each registration 
entitles the author to submit a single paper/poster. One additional 
paper/poster per registration is allowed against a special fee.

The themes of the conference are:

     * Recent developments for modelling the physical processes relevant
       to buildings (thermal, air flow, moisture, lighting).
     * Algorithms for modelling conventional and innovative HVAC systems.
     * Methods for modelling the whole-building performance, including
       integrated resource management, renewable energy sources and
       combined heat, cool and power generation.
     * Building simulation software development and quality control
       approaches.
     * Use of building simulation tools in code compliance and incentive
       programmes.
     * Moving simulation into practice. Case studies of innovative
       simulation approaches.
     * Validation of building simulation software.
     * User interface and software interoperability issues.
     * Architectural and engineering data visualization and animation.
     * Optimization approaches in building design.

The deadline for abstracts is: Friday, October 28, 2005.
The abstract must be in plain text and be a maximum of 500 words. eSim 
2006 is a bilingual conference and abstracts, papers and presentations 
will be accepted in either English or French.  Please submit abstracts 
to the eSim 2006 web site at: http://www.esim.ca

At least two reviewers will be assigned by the Scientific Executive 
Committee to examine each abstract in a double-blind review process. 
Corresponding authors will be informed of the abstract review results by 
December 2, 2005.
