IBPSA-Canada’s biennial conference, eSim, brings together professionals, academics and students interested in building performance simulation issues and applications in both the residential and commercially built environments. 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).
Conference Themes:
- Recent developments for modelling the physical processes relevant to buildings (thermal, air flow, moisture, lighting).
- Algorithms for modelling conventional and innovative HVAC systems.
- Methods for modelling the whole-building performance, including integrated resource management, renewable energy sources and combined heat, cool and power generation.
- Building simulation software development and quality control approaches.
- Use of building simulation tools in code compliance and incentive programs.
- Moving simulation into practice. Case studies of innovative simulation approaches.
- Validation of building simulation software.
- User interface and software interoperability issues.
- Architectural and engineering data visualization and animation.
- Optimization approaches in building design.
Conference Venue
The newly constructed Manitoba Hydro Place located in downtown Winnipeg will play host to eSim 2010. The building is touted as one of the most energy efficient buildings of its kind in North America and is a model of the benefits of building simulation.
