CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE 

Journal of Building Performance Simulation 

 

OLYMPIC VENUES AND INFRASTRUCTURE 

 

Guest editors: Pieter de Wilde, Dejan Mumovic and Malcolm Cook 

 

The publisher of the Journal of Building Performance Simulation, Taylor
& Francis, together with Routledge, intend to produce a collection of
special issues of journals that deal with the Olympic and Paralympic
Games of London 2012. Olympic and Paralympic Games generate substantial
construction projects in the host country, involving the development of
flagship stadia, athlete and press accommodation, and many other
spin-off projects. These projects will have worldwide attention during
the games. It is therefore crucial for the host nation to ensure they
are high performance, state-of-the-art facilities. 

 

This Special Issue of the Journal of Building Performance Simulation
invites contributions which address the building performance of Olympic
Venues - especially those for London 2012 - across the different
building simulation domains: thermal behaviour (energy and comfort),
ventilation and air flow, lighting, fire and evacuation, acoustics, and
integrated views that combine these domains. Papers are welcome that
address different levels of spatial resolution, covering Olympic
buildings and their components, Olympic sites, but also the urban level
beyond these sites. Contributions may cover different levels of
innovation, starting from regular engineering application (fitness for
purpose checks) to more innovative studies that deal with topics such as
urban development and planning, climate change, sustainability and reuse
of facilities after the end of the games. 

 

Submissions: authors are asked to submit a 300-500 word abstract
describing the focus, research, results and conclusions of the paper
they propose to submit. Abstracts and further enquiries should be
emailed to Dr Pieter de Wilde, pieter.dewilde at plymouth.ac.uk by 12
November 2010. Full papers are due 20 May 2011 via Manuscript Central at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tbps.
