<br>
As you may have heard, the inaugural meeting of the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York City</st1:place></st1:City> chapter of the International
Building Performance and Simulation Association (IBPSA-USA-NYC) will be held on
September 15 at 6:30 PM at the Buro Happold offices located at 100 Broadway,
23rd Floor. At our first meeting, we will discuss "simulation
checks", and ways of ensuring accuracy of models results. Our first
meeting will also serve as a forum for generating ideas about future topics of
discussion. We've already come up with a few ideas about topics -- like
envelope modeling, UFAD, radiant cooling, Lab Modeling, Complex glazing
systems, Green Roof modeling, and Case Studies -- but are interested in your input
as well. Bring your modeling problems and frustrations as well as your
break-throughs and solutions. Feel free to bring laptops to facilitate
discussion about particular modeling software.</span></font><font color=navy><span
