Conference: Performance of Exterior Euvelopes of Buildings

9th 2004:: The ninth international conference on building envelopes, organized by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), will be held on December 5-10, 2004, at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort, Clearwater Beach, Florida. This conference will present two concurrent tracks: Principles - devoted to research; and Practices - focusing on practical applications and case studies. Special topic workshops will be presented before or after the conference.
