They refer to how building designers work and act in practice and are useful for simulation software developers to produce meaningful post-processed information and data representation systems to building designers.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><o:p><FONT face=Calibri> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Calibri>For further information on the project please see;<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><o:p><FONT face=Calibri> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><A href="http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/archi/bleil-de-souza_projects.php"><FONT color=#800080 size=3 face=Calibri>http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/archi/bleil-de-souza_projects.php</FONT></A><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><o:p><FONT face=Calibri> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><FONT face=Calibri>Many thanks for your attention.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.5pt; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><o:p><FONT face=Calibri> </FONT></o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-ansi-language: FR" lang=FR><FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><FONT size=2>Dr Clarice Bleil de Souza <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><FONT size=2>Dr Simon Tucker<BR>Welsh School of Architecture<BR>Cardiff University<BR>Bute Building<BR>King Edward VII Avenue<BR>Cardiff CF10 3NB<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><FONT size=2>United Kingdom<BR>T: +44 29 2087 5969<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB"><FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><FONT size=2>T: +44 29 2087 5149<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT size=3 face=Calibri> </FONT></o:p></P></DIV></font>
