Call for Abstracts
The bi-annual conference of IBPSA-Canada is being organized to bring together professionals, academics and students interested in building performance simulation issues and applications. It will be held in Toronto, Canada on May 4 and 5, 2006 (pre-conference workshops May 3, 2006) at the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design (al&d) located within the downtown campus of the University of Toronto.
Only original papers related to the conference topics and not published elsewhere will be accepted. All accepted papers accompanied by a conference registration will be published in the conference proceedings, and presented at the conference in parallel oral sessions. In the event submissions exceed the conference presentation quota, poster sessions will be held to accommodate additional papers. Each registration entitles the author to submit a single paper/poster. One additional paper/poster per registration is allowed against a special fee. 

The themes of the conference are:

    * Recent developments for modelling the physical processes relevant
      to buildings (thermal, air flow, moisture, lighting).
    * Algorithms for modelling conventional and innovative HVAC systems.
    * Methods for modelling the whole-building performance, including
      integrated resource management, renewable energy sources and
      combined heat, cool and power generation.
    * Building simulation software development and quality control
      approaches.
    * Use of building simulation tools in code compliance and incentive
      programmes.
    * Moving simulation into practice. Case studies of innovative
      simulation approaches.
    * Validation of building simulation software.
    * User interface and software interoperability issues.
    * Architectural and engineering data visualization and animation.
    * Optimization approaches in building design.

The deadline for abstracts is: Friday, October 28, 2005.
The abstract must be in plain text and be a maximum of 500 words. eSim 2006 is a bilingual conference and abstracts, papers and presentations will be accepted in either English or French. Please submit abstracts to the eSim 2006 web site at: http://www.esim.ca
At least two reviewers will be assigned by the Scientific Executive Committee to examine each abstract in a double-blind review process. Corresponding authors will be informed of the abstract review results by December 2, 2005.
