The quantity of recent "sales" postings give rise to the question of how
commercial activities are handled on the list. Should they even be allowed?
Chris,
In response to the posting below I sent the following: "This
course does not seem to be related to building energy
simulation and modeling. Please do not post courses that are
unrelated to the topic of the mailing list in the future."
The posting guidelines are on the following page:
http://onebuilding.org/guidelines.html
I tend to warn people when they go outside the guidelines
and unsubscribe them or ban them when they persist. Most of
the time people just apologize.
I have tried to make the guidelines fit the interests of
those on the mailing lists. If you think they should be
revised let me know.
In order to completely eliminate the issue, we would have to
moderate the list (i.e. have someone approve each message
before it is sent to everyone). I am not sure it is enough
of a problem to go to that step. I have also thought about
making new subscriber's messages get moderated until they
show that they are posting on topic and within the
guidelines but most new subscribers have legitimate questions.
I welcome your feedback.

I am not a big fan of advertising on bldg_sim but
I wonder where that line might be drawn. If we
are talking about building performance simulation
(IBPSA for example) I would think that lighting
would be relevant. Especially considering the
mandatory lighting control requirements included
in 90.1-2010 and other standards. Tool such as
ecotect, Daysim, etc. would seem to belong in the
category of acceptable topics for bldg_sim and
hence, educational courses aimed at lighting
techniques including controls would be relevant?
>> Christopher Jones, P.Eng.
Lighting control strategies are certainly of interest to a large body of energy modelers, I agree completely.
That said, I think the announcement under discussion is misplaced for more basic reasons. Unless the organizers truly anticipate participants to fly into New Delhi from across the globe (bldg-sim is a global body), they are better off focusing on the targeted local engineers & designers this event is intended to host.
I actually attended a local seminar recently covering similar topics (hosted by Philips incidentally), and I learned of that opportunity through my local IES chapter mailing list. Had they tried to reach me through [bldg-sim] I probably would have ignored and missed the opportunity completely.
If this were being broadcast globally over the internet, that might be a different story, but I didn't pick that up from the original post. Even then, if the content is of a product-specific nature then what's available in markets halfway across the globe probably isn't applicable to designers on other continents.
Ultimately, I think these lists are a totally appropriate venue when the audience is supposed to be the broader, global community of those involved in energy modeling, bearing in mind the restrictions already set in place with the list guidelines Jason has linked us to.
NICK CATON, P.E.
Gentlemen,
Thanks for your comments. There is a degree of advertising bandwidth and
when this originates from participating list members, that's great.
Afterall, who would begrudge gard themselves or other such doyens!
When somebody's first and only post to the list is sales, then perhaps
we should direct them to a new list: "bldg-spam"!
Cheers
Chris
