IBPSA-LA Re-Launch Welcome Happy Hour
You’re Invited to the IBPSA-LA Re-Launch! Join us for the IBPSA-LA Welcome Happy Hour, sponsored by IES at the Arup downtown LA office.
This event is an informal evening bringing together building performance professionals, designers, engineers, and researchers. Hosted by IBPSA-LA and IES at the Arup office in Downtown LA, the mission is to advance the practice of building performance simulation to support high-performance, low-carbon, and resilient buildings.
The evening will feature relaxed social networking, insightful presentations, and plenty of time for conversation over drinks and bites. You will hear directly from experts at IBPSA-LA, IES and Arup. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, this is a great opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and be part of LA’s growing building performance community.
All attendees must register for the event and check in at the lobby to be granted access to the 19th floor.
