Announcement & Call for Papers
5 & 6 June 2008

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the European Built Environment CAE Conference (EBECC) to be held in London in June 2008.

The conference will be a major European event over two days with a full programme of industry and technical lectures, exhibition and social event. The aim is to provide a forum to present and discuss current practices in computer-aided engineering (CFD and FEA) approaches and showcase major projects.

You are invited to play a vital role in this conference by presenting a paper. We are looking for submissions of papers that present the advances and benefits of using simulation software. With a broad focus on comfort, safety and confidence, the programme will comprise submitted and invited papers and will address the following topics for the built environment application areas:

  • Occupant comfort
    Offices, atria, public buildings, underground trains and stations
  • Specialist design considerations
    Seismic response, cyclic loading on structures, cooling of data centres
  • Wind engineering
    Pressure mapping, pedestrian comfort, structural loading
  • Fire and Safety
    Fire modelling, smoke transport, fire suppression, structural resilience
  • Homeland Security
    Explosion modelling, chemical and biological gas spread
  • HVAC, Refrigeration Equipment
    Fans, chilled beams, facades, diffusers, grilles, noise modelling

Authors should submit title and a 250-word synopsis covering the following:

  • Description of the project
  • Challenges and solutions
  • Validation to verify CAE approach
  • Integration of CAE into your design process and business environment
  • Financial and technical benefits of using CAE in your company
