Classification: NPL Management Ltd - In Confidence
Dear Bldg-sim members,
The National Physical Laboratory (www.npl.co.uk) - the UK's National
Measurement Institute, based in London - is holding an event in Building
Performance Evaluation on the 5th of December at ARUP in London as part
of its work under the Centre for Carbon Measurement
The purpose of the event is to understand from the evaluation community
some of the measurement challenges faced and work/ research that needs
to be done. This will hopefully provide useful insight in to the
formulation of NPL research projects going forward, making sure what we
do is relevant to and supports the community. It may also provide some
useful opportunities for other collaborations.
More details of the event can be found here:

A snap shot of the agenda can be seen below.
If you can't make the event, please feel free to send me some of your
thoughts on the subject. 'All' input is useful.
Yours with thanks
Peter Benson
