Dear friends in the larger Boston area (which of course includes NYC),

As previously announced by Holly and Diego, the IBPSA Boston Chapter is
organizing a series of 'research meets practice' type lectures during
which we want to discuss common problems related to building energy
modeling, the first one being on setting occupancy and plug-load
schedules during design. While we have two speakers from the research
world, we would love to also hear how practice deals with the issue.
Please consider joining a 'civilized and friendly' discussion as a
speaker/panelist.
