Call for Nominations for IBPSA Awards (deadline: February 28, 2021)

The Board of Directors of IBPSA is seeking nominations for Awards to be
presented at Building Simulation 2021, in Bruges, Belgium (1-3 September
2021). IBPSA makes three awards for outstanding work in the building
performance simulation field. These awards are made on a biennial basis at
each Building Simulation Conference, providing there is a qualified
candidate. The three categories awarded are:

(1) IBPSA Distinguished Achievement Award. This award, formerly named the
IBPSA Award for Distinguished Service to Building Simulation, recognizes an
individual who has a distinguished record of contributions to the field of
building performance simulation, over a long period.

(2) IBPSA Outstanding Young Contributor Award. This award recognizes an
individual at the beginning of their career who has demonstrated potential
for significant contributions to the field of building performance
simulation.

(3) IBPSA Innovative Application Award. This award, formerly named the IBPSA
Award for Distinguished Practice, recognizes an individual, group or firm,
who has made a significant contribution to the effective application and/or
advancement of building performance simulation in practice. The award may be
given for a unique or noteworthy use of simulation in practice; development
of simulation software or supporting software that has had a significant
impact on industry practice; or other contribution that has advanced
building performance simulation in practice.

Nominations

Nominations for awards must be made by an independent third party and
submitted by February 28, 2021. We would like as many nominations as
possible, so please contact the Chair of the Awards and Fellows Committee,
Micha?l Kummert, to discuss a possible nomination if required
