SimBuild 2004
Building Sustainability and Performance Through Simulation
First National Conference of IBPSA-USA
August 4-6, 2004
Boulder, Colorado, USA

IBPSA-USA announces SimBuild 2004, the first in a series of biennial conferences to improve the design and operation of buildings through advances in the modeling and simulation of building performance.

The SimBuild 2004 conference seeks to bring together the full building performance community: researchers and practitioners, software developers and users, professionals and students, public and private sectors, designers and operators, engineers and architects. Participants are also expected to span the diverse disciplines of building performance, including energy systems, acoustics, lighting and daylighting, air movement, indoor envionmental quality, controls and operations, and performance under extreme event conditions.

The program has been designed to include:

• Research presentations and poster sessions (peer reviewed)
• Technical presentations (not peer reviewed)
• Software demonstrations
• Simulation workshops
• Discussion forums
• Info and job fairs

There will be opportunities for researchers to present and discuss new methods, vendors to demonstrate their products and deliver workshops, and architecture and engineering firms to examine new tools and meet future employees.

We look forward to your participation and hope to see you in Boulder next summer!
