WUFI workshops - computer modeling of hygrothermal (moisture and heat) transfer through walls and roofs. These workshops, with instruction provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) of the United States and the Fraunhofer Institute of Building Physics in Germany, are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) /Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) and others. Each student brings his/her own laptop, receives software with a temporary license, and will run simulations. The computer modeling enables the user to diagnose or design wall configurations within a user-specified geographic region for which NOAA has gathered weather data for decades. Even mold growth in the building can be predicted using this model.

Portland OR More value for your travel dollar -- This WUFI workshop will precede the BEST2 conference in Portland. See conference description below and the 3-slide PowerPoint linked here.

The BEST2 Conference, April 12-14, 2010

The second Building Enclosure Science and Technology conference will be held in Portland the second week of April. This national three day conference is being hosted by the Portland BEC and will feature three concurrent learning tracks: Energy Efficiency, Whole Building, and Fenestration. The conference will bring together leading edge research and real-world applications with a focus on energy efficiency and long-term performance. The program includes panel discussions, featured workshops, and plenary speakers. BEST2 is organized by the National Institute of Building Sciences and supported by BETEC, CSI, AIA, the Building Enclosure Councils, USDOE, and others. Early registration is open until the end of January. www.thebestconference.org
