.: About the IBPSA

IBPSA (the International Building Performance Simulation Association) is a non-profit international society of building performance simulation researchers, developers and practitioners, dedicated to improving the built environment.

.: Events

 SimBuild 2008: IBPSA-USA will hold its third national conference on building simulation July 30 - Aug 1, 2008 on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The format will be broadly similar to SimBuild 2004 at the University of Colorado, Boulder and SimBuild 2006 at MIT, except that there will be more time allocated to invited presentations and structured discussions on key topics of current interest. Training workshops by various software vendors are being scheduled for the Monday and Tuesday preceding the conference - further details at the website.

 eSim Canada 2008: The bi-annual conference of IBPSA-Canada is being organized to bring together professionals, academics and students interested in building performance simulation issues and applications. The 2008 conference is hosted by École d'architecture de la Faculté d'architecture, d'aménagement et des arts visuels de l'Université Laval, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada. It will be held in Quebec City, Canada on May 21 and 22, 2008 (pre-conference and post-conference workshops on May 20 and 23, 2008). More information and registration are available from the conference website.
