Abstract
I would suspect that the title of this conference is pretty dull to the average person. "Perofrmance of Buildings - Concept and Measurement" doesn't exactly swing. And it swings even less for the average conference goer, who is far more likely to be concerned about the performance and measurements of Toots Latour at a go-go club downtown than a GSA office building on Independence Avenue. But to al of us here, this is an important event. The reason for that fact is explained in the announcement for this conference.
