Abstracts may be submitted via our website above. Please note that abstracts
are due by <b>1 September 2008</b> when the review process will start. Late
abstracts will be accepted up to a cut-off date of <b>22nd September</b>.<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: </span><span lang=EN-GB><o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>
