["anniemarston25" <anniemarston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

The IBPSA DC national chapter meeting is coming up and it would be lovely to see and meet people in the DC area who are interested and or work in building simulation. The details for the meeting are below:

IBPSA ? DC National Chapter Quarterly Meeting
Thursday November 1st, 2012, 6pm ? 7pm
Ebert and Baumann Offices, 734 15th Street, NW, Suite 1000, Washington, D.C. 20005, USA

The topics for discussion will be:
1. DoE plans for simulation now and in the future.
 
2. Case studies from local firms that work extensively with simulation to help inform design.

Speakers:
Amir Roth ? Department of Energy
Amir Roth is the Technical Development Manager for building energy modeling (BEM) tools in the DOE's Building Technologies Program (BTP). BEM is used in building design and in the development of building energy efficiency codes and ratings, and increasingly in code compliance, building certification, building diagnostics and fault detection, building control system development, and dynamic building control. Among the projects Amir manages are EnergyPlus, DOE's industry-leading whole building energy modeling engine, and OpenStudio, DOE's BEM productivity, interoperability, and utility middleware. 

Roger Chang ? Westlake Reed Leskosky
Roger Chang is the Director of Sustainability at Westlake Reed Leskosky and Adjunct Professor at the Catholic University of America. His research experience includes work at NIST, collaboration with the Harvard School of Public Health, and the first research study of a LEED Platinum building in the world, the Philip Merrill Environmental Center. He has experienced LEED from its infancy to what it has become today and regularly speaks at conferences on integrated design and high-performance buildings. 

Annie Marston ? Ebert and Bauman Consulting Engineers
Annie Marston is the head of the Building Performance Group at Ebert and Baumann Consulting Engineers and Adjunct Professor at the Catholic University of America. She works on all types of simulations, from daylighting through to energy modelling and CFD.
