====== Advances in Building Simulation and BIM ======
=== One-day seminar incorportating an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecture by M Dennis Knight ===
\\
To celebrate the ASHRAE Distinguished Lectures coming to England for the first time, we have got internationally leading and innovative building simulation software vendors together to showcase their latest achievements. It is a rare opportunity to see such diverse tools in action in one place. The day will be concluded with the lecture by M. Dennis Knight, on the topic of "Integrated Building Design and Building Information", which discusses the applications of BIM and performance analysis tools in the design process. Should you be studying/researching or analysing/designing high-performance buildings, there will be something for you here on the 17th of May.
