7 Preface Welcome to Festschrift – An Homage to Les Norford and Building Science. This booklet documents the proceedings of a two-day symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on June 27 and 28, 2024, to mark the retirement of long-term faculty member Prof. Leslie (Les) Norford. For Les∙schrift, we invited former students and colleagues who accompanied Les during his four decades-spanning career in building science and discussed topics that he had worked on. We thank all of our guests for joining us for this special event and Les for being the best colleague, mentor and friend any of us could have wished for. With gratitude, Christoph Reinhart, Leon Glicksman, Caitlin Mueller and John Ochsendorf Cambridge, August 2024 Fig 1.1 Les Norford discussing the Urban Weather Generator Photo: Justin Knight
