From an impressive slate of applicants, IBPSA has selected the following five winners for the Student Travel Awards for Building Simulation 2005:
  • Henrik Karlsson of Chalmers University (Sweden)
  • Yohei Yamaguchi of Osaka University (Japan)
  • Fernando Simon Westphal of Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil)
  • Aizaz Aamir Samuel of the University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom)
  • Bojana Spasojevic of Vienna University of Technology (Austria)


IBPSA will grant up to five travel awards for students presenting papers at Building Simulation 2005. Each award may be up to 1 000$US. The selection committee will base its decisions upon the following selection criteria:
  • Quality of the paper.
  • Need for financial assistance, as indicated in a letter of recommendation from the faculty supervisor/advisor (the letter must be on university letterhead).
To be eligible, the student must be:
  • Enrolled in a graduate programme related to building simulation.
  • AND, the thesis project must be directly related to building simulation.
Applications for the award must be made by May 1, 2005 via e-mail to ibeausol@nrcan.gc.ca. The subject heading of the e-mail should be "Student Travel Award - paper XXX" where XXX is the three-digit reference number for your paper.

The e-mail application must include the following:
  • The student's name.
  • The name of the programme, department, faculty, and university.
  • The title of the Ph.D. or master's research.
  • The name of the student's supervisor(s)/advisor(s).
  • A scanned version of the faculty recommendation letter on university letterhead in PDF format. (Note that the original letter must be presented to the Conference Secretariat at the conference.)
The selection committee will base its decision upon a review of the final manuscripts. Therefore, to be eligible the student MUST submit the final version of the paper by the deadline of May 15, 2005.

Payment will be made either to the academic department before the conference or directly to the student at or after the conference.
