The current methods of building energy simulation that designers and engineers (D&E) use
in order to find the energy performance of a building do not take into account the real …

The design of a building is a collaborative process among experts from multiple disciplines.
Using Building Information Modeling (BIM), a model is developed through multiple …

In building performance simulation, understanding the potential for parameter variations to
cause a disproportionately large change in a performance metric is an important aspect of …

Building performance simulation (BPS) is a powerful technique to predict the performance of
a design proposal. It is extensively used towards the end of the design process to, for …

The integration of techniques for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in building performance
simulation (BPS) has a number of potential benefits related to design. It allows assessing the …

It was in the summer of year 1995 that I encountered the first-person shooter game DOOM
for the first time. The feeling during fighting the demons in the fictional spaces is so touching …

The sensitivity of a real (under construction) UK school building's energy consumption to
input parameters was investigated using IES Virtual Environment. Differential sensitivity …

Building Performance Simulation (BPS) is frequently used by decision-makers to estimate
building energy consumption at the design stage. However, the true potential of BPS …

The design and realization of a healthy indoor environment is a challenge that is
investigated from different perspectives at the unit Building Physics and Systems (BPS; …

With the decline of fossil energy resources, the necessity to change our way of energy usage
