Welcome

IBPSA-USA will hold its third national conference on building simulation July 30 - Aug 1, 2008 on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The format will be broadly similar to SimBuild 2004 at the University of Colorado, Boulder and SimBuild 2006 at MIT, except that there will be more time allocated to invited presentations and structured discussions on key topics of current interest. Training workshops by various software vendors are being scheduled for the Monday and Tuesday before the conference and the Saturday after the conference.

We look forward to welcoming you to Berkeley!

Philip Haves, Conference Chair
