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.

*Keynote speakers of eSim 2012:*
Christoph Reinhart is an Associate Professor of Building Technology
in Architecture at MIT. He has built design tools such as
DIVA-for-Rhino and Daysim. Dr. Reinhart's address is titled
/Building Performance Simulation ? From Evaluating Performance To
Suggesting New Forms./
Mark Riley was the S&T Director of the Sustainable Buildings and
Communities Group within CanmetENERGY. He now consults on projects
related to sustainable housing, buildings and communities. Mr.
Riley's address is titled /Housing for a Changing World: A
Sustainable Housing Technology Roadmap for Canada./

*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
