                   Title: "An Overview of Simulation"
                   Abstract: IBPSA-USA contracted with OWP/P Consulting Engineers and Michael
                             Roy Iversen Architect to produce two sets of presentation slides
                             about the benefits of simulation, one for audiences of architects
                             and one for engineers.  The presentation material is intended to
                             be used by IBPSA-USA members at meetings of local AIA or ASHRAE
                             chapters.  Mr. Olsen, OWP/P's lead engineer on this project, will
                             prepare IBPSA-USA members to make these presentations by providing
                             an example of their use.  

Reservations:      Reservations should be made with Rick Strand <rkstrand@xxxxxxxx> via email by January 20, 2004, 5PM (EDT).  Confirmation of reservations will be sent via email (if you do not receive a confirmation within two business days, please resend your reservation request).
