CHAMPS 2011 will be a unique technical program that focuses on major challenges facing the combined heat, air, moisture and pollutant simulations for the design and operation of sustainable buildings. CHAMPS 2011 will highlight future challenges that will reach beyond the traditional scope of built environmental systems research. Examples: methodology and tools for coordinated and integrated urban and building systems design, impact of climate change on indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency and durability of buildings, micro-urban climate research, the long-term implications of green building design, connections between indoor, local and regional outdoor air quality. The objectives of CHAMPS 2011 are: 1) exchange, review and discuss the state of the art in CHAMPS development and applications in urban and building systems; 2) identify knowledge gaps, and research and development needs; and 3) develop a plan for further collaboration in CHAMPS development.
