(Were any other readers of this digest there?) Noticeably absent were academics and representatives of the industry leaders in simulation and gaming technology, so the signal-to-noise ratio of the conference was rather low. Can anybody recommend better?

I'll soon be experimenting with some digitally controlled terminal boxes, and would like to model them (as well as pneumatic ones) with a computer simulation. I've been playing around with the National Bureau of Standards' program HVACSIM, and have found that it is lacking in some key components I need to model a terminal box (flow sensor, proportional band thermostat, pressure sensor, control relays, etc.) Also, there is no capability to simulate control algorithms as might be implemented with an energy management system. Have any of you used HVACSIM? Do you have additional unit types for it? Do you know of other simulation tools that might be more appropriate for what I'm trying to do? Is anyone else out there interested in simulating HVAC systems? ------------------------------ +--------------------------+ | END OF SIMULATION DIGEST | +--------------------------+
