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).</span><span
