Fwd: New Mailing List for Building Simulation Users

[David Bradley <bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody! 
	I recieved this email about a general building simulation software mailing
list and thought it might be interesting to TRNSYS users in general.

>BLDG-SIM Mailing List

>
>BLDG-SIM is a new mailing list for users of building 
>energy simulation programs.  Building energy simulation 
>programs allow users to estimate the energy use and 
>operating cost of residential, commercial and other 
>types of buildings.  This allows engineers, architects 
>and others in the building design trade to compare 
>alternative designs and select the design that is cost 
>justified.  They are frequently used during the design 
>process when choosing between alternatives in the 
>components that make up a building including insulation 
>level, heating and cooling distribution systems, 
>furnaces, boilers and air conditioning equipment.  The 
>web page for this mailing list is located at: 
>
>http://www.gard.com/ml/bldg-sim.htm 
>
>Examples of building simulation programs include DOE-2, 
>Trace- 600, HAP, Blast, ESP, SERIRES, TRNSYS, TASE, 
>Energy-10, and others (see link below for a more complete 
>list).

>
>Since the users of building energy simulation programs  
>are spread across the world, this mailing list is an  
>attempt to foster the development of a community of those  
>users.  Experienced and inexperienced users of building  
>energy simulation programs are welcome and are expected  
>to share their questions and insights about these  
>programs.   
>
>Currently no FAQ is available.

>Posting Guidelines 
>------------------ 
>
>Any subscriber can post any message on the mailing list.   
>Please indicate in the subject line what simulation  
>program you are asking about.  The host and owner of this  
>list is not moderating, filtering or editing any message  
>sent to the list.  Instead the subscribers to the list  
>should follow these simple guidelines: 
>
>  - Be courteous. 
>  - No discussion not related to building energy and 
>    building energy simulation. 
>  - Announcements of new versions of building simulation 
>    products are welcome and encouraged but are restricted
>    to one posting per month.. 
>  - Do not try to sell any other products on the mailing  
>    list (no spam is tolerated). 
>  - Job announcements are welcome but are restricted to
