SimBuild 2008


IBPSA-USA will hold its third national conference from July 30 to August 1, 2008 on the campus of the 
University of California at Berkeley. The format will be similar to the two previous SimBuild conferences 
held at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2004 and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006.


The meeting is open to all, world-wide. Being near San Francisco, Berkeley is a convenient destination for 
travelers from major cities in the U.S. and in many other countries.  U.C. Berkeley is the oldest campus 
of the University of California system, which also operates the well-known Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 
the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Space Sciences Laboratory, and the U.C. Botanical Garden. The city of Berkeley 
contains a variety of neighborhoods with diverse character and excellent restaurants.  The "Bay Area" is full 
of visitor attractions accessible within 20 minutes, such as the city of San Francisco, scenic mountains, and 
rich architecture (including the Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center).  Numerous wineries are within one hour travel 
to the Napa and Sonoma valleys, where wine-tasting tours are available.
