We are honored to invite Doug Hittle to lead our evening presentation
entitled, " Simulation Answers to Tough Questions: Proof by Anecdote."
Abstract: This discussion asserts that there are some architectural and
engineering questions concerning building and HVAC system designs that
aren't well answered using a handbook and calculator. I believe that the
IBPSA audience already embraces this hypothesis. This presentation shows
some interesting cases where design issues could not be answered without
computer models. Indeed, without computer calculations the questions
might not have even been asked in the first place or designers would
have had to rely on RE's.
Bio: Doug Hittle is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical
Engineering, Colorado State University. He is an ASHRAE Fellow and
recipient of ASHRAE's Distinguished Service Award. He matriculated from
the University of Illinois under the tutelage of Professor Curt
Pedersen. Hittle also attended the founding IBPSA meetings.
While at the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory Hittle was
peace negotiator and front man for the BLAST development team and served
on the Advisory Panel for the development of DOE-2. He taught HVAC
design, solar energy engineering, thermal sciences, and automatic
control while at Colorado State and Purdue Universities.
Dinner Menu: Painted Mesa buffet. It includes roasted pork loin with red
chili cream sauce, carne asada served with lime cilantro sauce
espagnole, verde ride, southwestern ratatouille, tortillas, house salad,
green chili stew and a variety of drinks. The price will be $40/person,
cash or check only, no credit cards please.
Please RSVP to Shanta Tucker (shanta.tucker at atelierten.com) by June 4th.
Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Shanta Tucker, Secretary IBPSA-USA
