Pg. 01 9th International Conference on System Simulation in Buildings

(Liège, 10th – 12th December)

Welcome

On behalf of ULg and the Organizing Committee we would like to welcome you to System

Simulation in Buildings 2014, the 9th International Conference of this kind organized by the

Thermodynamics Laboratory of the University of Liège. The purpose of the conference is to bring

together academics, professionals and practitioners involved in development and application of

simulation tools for buildings and HVAC systems. Given the large scope of this area and the

diversity of developments in this very active domain, the conference addresses multiple

applications: HVAC components and systems, building elements, occupants related issues,

ventilation, control and management, integration in smart energy grids, renewable energy

sources, heat pumps and refrigeration.

Different stages of building life cycle are covered by the 40 peer-reviewed papers submitted to

the conference: from conceptual design through building operation and to renovation.

The conference takes place in the beautiful city of Liège, with its particular prior Christmas

atmosphere.

We hope that you will find the program interesting and enjoyable.

Vincent Lemort

Conference Chairman
