Building Performance Simulation
Building Performance Simulation involves the use of computer models to predict and analyze the energy use, indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and overall performance of buildings. These simulations take into account various factors such as building materials, HVAC systems, occupancy patterns, and weather conditions to help architects, engineers, and building owners design more efficient and sustainable buildings. By running simulations, professionals can optimize building designs, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions to improve the performance of a building throughout its lifecycle.
