Dear Pieter,

thank you for starting this discussion. I like the idea of sharing the thoughts of IBPSA-England Board members with other users of our IBPSA-England Talk initiative. I think that we have to work much harder to encourage people to visit the IBPSA-England website more frequently. One of our priorities must be to attract more people from industry and to make transition from an academic orientated society towards a dynamic more industry orientated organisation. EPSRC funding that Ian is working on and meetings in Leicester and Plymouth are certainly a step in the right direction.

Regards,

Dejan

Hi Pieter

Just trying out IBPSA Talk .... and desperate for that coffee. Good meeting at UCL recently. I met
with CIBSE last week who are, naturally, keen for IBPSA England to form a group: 'The CIBSE Simulation
Group'. This is, of course, very topical at present with all the activities surrounding Part L compliance.
I explained we wanted to begin slowly until we gained confidence in the organisation which they
understood and thought was sensible. The other carrot I dangled was a revision of AM11 which naturally
interested them. I left a good sample of our web pages with them to peruse and I will be speaking to
them again later this week to take the matter further.

Regards
Malcolm
