Symposium on the coupling of building air flow
and energy modelling programs

Call for Abstracts

ASHRAE Technical Committees 4.7 (Energy Calculations) and TC 4.10 (Indoor Environment Modelling) are jointly organizing a symposium on the subject of coupling energy and air flow modelling programs. The target date for the symposium is the summer 2003 ASHRAE meeting.

The symposium will consider the coupling of energy analysis and: nodal or network air flow methods for modelling infiltration, inter-zone air flow, and pollutant dispersion; zonal or computational fluid dynamics methods for modelling air motion, indoor air quality and comfort conditions within rooms; intermediate methods for resolving room stratification; strategies for integrating these diverse modelling domains; innovative applications of coupled models; and other advances related to the coupling of energy analysis and air flow programs.

Interested authors are invited to submit an abstract of their proposed paper to Ian Beausoleil-Morrison at the e-mail address shown below. The abstract should not exceed 500 words and should provide an outline of the paper, demonstrate the unique contribution, and should clearly indicate how the paper will relate to the theme "coupling of energy and air flow modelling programs". Abstracts should be submitted in either PDF (preferred) or Word format and must be received by June 10. Authors will be notified of abstract acceptance in July, following the ASHRAE summer meeting.
