All about the eSim conference
IBPSA-Canada’s biennial conference, eSim, brings together professionals, academics and students interested in building performance simulation advancements and applications. The 2012 conference is hosted by Dalhousie University in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada. It will be held in the beautiful port city of Halifax, Canada on May 2 and 3, 2012, with workshops held one day pre and post the conference.
Keynote Speakers
Christoph Reinhart is an Associate Professor of Building Technology in Architecture at MIT. He has built design tools such as DIVA-for-Rhino and Daysim. Dr. Reinhart's address is titled Building Performance Simulation – From Evaluating Performance To Suggesting New Forms.
Mark Riley was the S&T Director of the Sustainable Buildings and Communities Group within CanmetENERGY. He now consults on projects related to sustainable housing, buildings and communities. Mr. Riley's address is titled Housing for a Changing World: A Sustainable Housing Technology Roadmap for Canada.
Conference Themes
Themes of the eSim conference surround the modeling and simulation of processes and performance of the built environment. This includes all aspects of building simulation ranging from the simulators themselves to results of unique and innovative models. Coverage includes modeling physical processes (energy, occupant comfort, daylighting, etc.), control methods, community energy systems, building simulator tools, use of tools with building code/incentive programs, and performance visualization/validation.
