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 Winnipeg, Canada
on May 19 and 20, 2010 (pre-conference and post-conference workshops on May 18
and 21, 2010). Please visit www.esim.ca to register.
Conference Keynote Speakers
Professor Ian Beausoleil-Morrison of Carleton University and Thomas Auer, Managing Director and Partner of Transsolar GmBH have been
confirmed as the Keynote Speakers of eSim 2010. Ian has a rich experience
of simulation tool development and use in Canada and internationally, notably
leading the successful IEA Annex 42 (Simulation of Building-Integrated Fuel
Cell and Other Cogeneration Systems). Thomas has developed energy and building
services concepts for projects around the world noted for their innovative
design and low energy use. Manitoba
Hydro Place is one such example of where
Thomas’ firm has utilized simulation to design what is considered one of
the most energy efficient high rise buildings in North
America. The conference organizers are excited to have both Ian
and Thomas as part of the conference as they are both highly
regarded within the industry.
