Join delegates from Canada, Norway, Portugal, The Netherlands,
Switzerland, South Korea, Hong Kong, Poland, United States,
France and the United Kingdom as we review the current state
of ESP-r, discuss its evolution and delve into its code. 

Monday 18 August: Conference on ESP-r Developments
8:30 - 9:00: Registration
9:00 - 9:30: Summary of ESP-r history, licensing, development
9:30 -lunch: Presentations by visitors
2:00 - 4:00: ESRU: summary of ESP-r status and development plans
4:00 - 5:30: Discussion of partnerships and topics for
             future developments.

Tuesday 19 August: Basic Workshop for Developers
9:00 -  9:45: ESP-r structure - overview
9:45 - 10:15: Databases - updating, adding components
10:15 - lunch: Setting up user environment & compile/link/test cycle
          Demonstration then exercises of compile/link/test cycle.
2:00 - 3:30: Demonstration and exercise for code intervention to

to fit participant demand.
9:00 - 17:00 with a lunch break

 1. Compile/link/load (including OS platforms, porting,
    Fortran-C-Fortran).

 2. Database content, management and extensions, HVAC systems,
    electrical power flow, renewable energy systems, 
    control (zone, system, flow).

 3. Weather parameters (current and possible extensions), long-wave
    radiation, surface convection, casual heat gains, daylight and
    artificial lighting.

 4. Geometry manipulation (current and possible extensions), user
    interface (including CAD interactions and web based interfaces).
    Life Cycle Impact Assessment, care and feeding of exemplar models.

 5. Shading and insolation, short-wave radiation, transient conduction,
    thermal bridges, fabric moisture flow and in-line validation.

 6. Numerical solvers, network air flow, computational fluid dynamics.
    time-step control, results analysis (including Integrated
Performance
    Views).

Thursday 21 August: Open Workshop
Workshop in support of those involved in or planning

While the conference venue will have a limited number of
Linux and Sun workstations to use during the workshops, we 
encourage delegates to bring ESP-r compatable laptop computers 
and development environments (and a converter for power outlets 
to work with UK power sockets).
