*President's Message - August 2018: Yes, it?s a mouthful, but it?s worth it*
I hope to see you soon at the Building Performance Analysis Conference and
SimBuild, Co-organized by ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA. (Yes, we are a group of
marketing geniuses with advanced degrees in conference-name development.) I
figured that a name like that calls for some background explanation, so
here you go.
