EARLY BIRD RATE ENDS THIS WEEK - eSim Building Simulation Conference 1-4 May 2012. http://esim.ca
The 2012 eSim Building Simulation Conference in Halifax, Canada is hosted by Dalhousie University and features an exciting slate of speakers, social events, workshops, and tours. Major themes include: building performance modeling, innovative technology control methods, simulations tools, and quality control approaches. We invite you to explore our new website which contains all the information http://esim.ca

We have received well over 50 research papers, forming a full two-days of parallel technical sessions (a detailed schedule is available under Conference Information at http://esim.ca
Several exciting features of the eSim conference are (complete descriptions at http://esim.ca/):
* Conference venue is the Pier 21 Immigration Museum on the Halifax Waterfront where over a million immigrants entered Canada.
* Keynote speakers are Christoph Reinhart (MIT Architecture) and Mark Riley (former Sustainable Buildings Director at CanmetEnergy).
* Technical tour of the NSCC Centre for the Built Environment (LEED Silver)
* Social events at the Seaport Farmers Market (LEED Platinum) and banquet at the historic Waterfront Warehouse.
* Half and full-day workshops on modeling and simulation, communities, and certification tools.
* Reduced rate accommodations at the Westin Hotel are within a 10 minute walk from all events.

About the eSim 2012 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. 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.
We hope you will join us for the 2012 eSim Building Simulation Conference on 1-4 May. We invite you to explore our website at http://esim.ca/.
Dr. Lukas Swan and Prof. Richard Kroeker
