20th International Conference of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) - Building Simulation (BS 2027)

The 20th International Conference of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) - Building Simulation (BS 2027) topics cover all aspects of building simulation, including issues such as:

• The limitations of simulations in practice, and how can these can be addressed
• How simulation can influence the design process
• Use of BIM in simulation
• Case studies of the use of simulation in practice, and the lessons learnt
• Comparing simulation and real-world outcomes
• Simulation validation and testing
• New work in simulation development
• Applications of simulation in regulatory processes
• Human aspects of the indoor environment
• Advances in building physics
• Energy capture and operation
• Building services
• Software issues

Building performance simulation has increasingly become embedded in the design process. Building Simulation explores best practice and new horizons for the use of simulation to drive better building design.
