website above. Please note that the deadline for abstracts is <B>1 September
2008</B>. <BR><BR><B>IBPSA</B> 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></FONT>

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><B>Key Dates</B><BR></FONT>
