[Bldg-sim] Proposed Energy Modeling Conference - Your Input Requested

[Dr. Nader Chalfoun]

Dear Lynn:

 From the teaching aspect of energy modeling, and only if you are willing
to target other people than consulting engineering practitioners, I
would recommend presentations on integrating energy modeling with
architecture/engineering design in the classrooms.

I am aware that some of you engineers are developing incredible skills
in energy modeling. So, introducing simplified techniques and short
exercises within the scope of a classroom will be welcomed by faculty
and students alike and would help the education aspect of energy
modeling.

Just a thought,

Nader
