DESCRIPTION:Symposium on Greenhouse Energy Simulation\nEngineering Departm
 ent\, Cambridge University\, Trumpington Street\, Cambridge\, CB2 1PZ\, UK
 \n\nThe event is open and free to attend\, but registration is required. P
 lease RSVP by emailing to Ms. Lorna Everett-Walters (lje31@cam.ac.uk) or a
 t http://cam-ges.eventbrite.com/\nThis one day symposium brings together r
 esearchers from both academia and industry working on the design and simul
 ation of greenhouse technologies for plant cultivation. Greenhouse simulat
 ion differs from traditional energy simulation of buildings in the inclusi
 on of transpiration heat flow – namely\, the flux of water through the s
 urface of a leaf to allow the plants to maintain optimum water content. In
 deed\, transpiration is the most important mechanism (as compared to radia
 tion and convection) by which plants maintain ‘comfort’ conditions. Th
 is symposium will feature recent work in this area\, including a new proje
 ct at U. of Cambridge on the integration of greenhouse simulators with ene
 rgy simulation models of traditional buildings. It will be relevant for st
 udents and researchers interested in the design of climate controlled gree
 nhouses and in their integration within urban environments.\n
