Call for Abstracts
IBPSA-Canada’s biennial conference,
eSim, brings together professionals, academics and students interested in
building performance simulation issues and applications. The 2010 conference is
hosted by Manitoba Hydro, in collaboration with the National Research Council
of Canada. It will be held in
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: October 1, 2009.
The abstract must be in plain text
and be a maximum of 500 words. eSim 2010 is a bilingual conference and
abstracts, papers and presentations will be accepted in either English or
French. Please submit abstracts to the eSim 2010 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 October 29th, 2009.
