Thomas Auer, Managing Director and Partner of Transsolar GmBH have been
confirmed as the Keynote Speakers of eSim 2010. Ian has a rich experience
of simulation tool development and use in Canada and internationally, notably
leading the successful IEA Annex 42 (Simulation of Building-Integrated Fuel
Cell and Other Cogeneration Systems); Thomas has developed energy and building
services concepts for projects around the world noted for their innovative
design and low energy use. <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Manitoba
Hydro Place</st1:address></st1:Street> is one such example of where
Thomas’s firm has utilized simulation to design what is considered one of
the most energy efficient high rise buildings in <st1:place w:st="on">North
America</st1:place>. The conference organizers are excited to have both these
individuals as part of the conference as they are both highly
regarded within the industry.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

are invited to take part in special software demo sessions during the
conference. Much like technical presentations, the software demo sessions will
consist of presentations in front of an audience. However, these presentations
will not be peer-reviewed and therefore not included in the conference
proceedings - although the submission of a technical paper on the software that
meets one of the conference themes is encouraged! To be eligible for a
presentation during the software demo sessions, the software must be a
commercial product or be freely available (on a web site for example).
Furthermore, the presenter must be a registered participant. Please note that
the scientific committee has the right to limit the number of software tools
being presented.</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>
