NEW EVENT: Passive & Hybrid Downdraught Cooling Symposium
NEW EVENT: REGISTRATION
Date: 07th and 08th January 2010
Location: University College London, Wilkins Building, Gower Street, WC1E6BT London
Organisers: Nottingham University, UCL, CIBSE School Design Group, CIBSE Natural Ventilation Group and IBPSA-England
IBPSA England have
contributed to the organisation of this international symposium which
will introduce different approaches to downdraught cooling and
illustrate this by reference to case study buildings around the world.
The market for Passive & Hybrid Downdraught Cooling in Europe,
India and China, and life-cycle costs will also be addressed. Climatic
applicability and design strategies and rules of thumb will be
discussed prior to the introduction to the software tools in the
workshop. A special session will review the design and performance of
the UCL School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies to which a
visit is planned for the Friday afternoon.
All delegates will get a copy of ‘Design Sourcebook’ which provides a
‘state of the art’ summary, and guidance for architects and engineers.
The sourcebook also includes two software tools which will enable
architects and engineers to predict energy and environmental
performance and to assess the affects of design changes on performance.
The draft Sourcebook and software will be available free of charge to
all delegates to the symposium.
By attending the International Symposium one will be able to gain
significant insight into recent developments and applications of PHDC
around the world.
IMPORTANT: If you would like to
participate in the two-day symposium, please email our administrators
to request a registration form, to:
Mirentxu.Ulloa@nottingham.ac.uk
Registration fee is £100. This includes an electronic copy of the draft Design
Sourcebook and Software Tools + lunch for both days, and refreshments.
Participants are requested to bring a fully charged laptop with them on the second
day of the event, which will include an interactive workshop.
Please note that limited seats are available and therefore registration occurs on a first come first serve basis.
