[esp-r] BS'09 Call for Abstracts

[Paul Strachan]

Building Simulation 2009
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland
27th -- 30th July

Call for abstracts for BS'09

Conference website: www.bs2009.org.uk

Abstracts may be submitted via our website above. Please note that the 
deadline for abstracts is *1 September 2008*.

*IBPSA* will hold its 11th bi-annual international conference, the 
leading international conference in building performance simulation, in 
summer 2009 at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Glasgow, 
Scotland's largest city, has an unrivalled choice of museums, theatres, 
parks, science centre and shopping, set within some of the finest 
Victorian architecture in Europe. In addition, Glasgow has a worldwide 
reputation as a welcoming city and is firmly established and experienced 
as a major centre for conferences and international events.

The conference organizers are seeking high quality papers and will limit 
the number of peer-reviewed oral presentations. Submissions will 
therefore be rigorously peer-reviewed. Simulation-based papers on the 
following themes are welcomed:

   1. advances in building physics
   2. human aspects of the indoor environment
   3. building services
   4. commissioning and operation
   5. energy capture and conversion
   6. advances in applications
   7. validation and calibration
   8. software issues
   9. simulation in design practice
  10. regulation/code compliance
  11. application day case studies*

* One day of the conference will be devoted to practical applications, 
particularly focusing on simulation in practice with illustrative case 
studies. Therefore, a limited number of additional papers are invited in 
order to enable practitioners to demonstrate the benefits flowing from 
the recent upsurge in the use of simulation in building design. If you 
wish to contribute such a paper, please ensure it is marked as an 
application day case study in the abstract submission.

Abstracts should be in plain text and no more than 500 words. They 
should describe clearly the research objectives and new knowledge 
arising from the research.
