Buildings are the largest consumers of energy responsible for 48% of all Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Due to the complexity and multidisciplinary aspects of architecture design and construction, and urban design and society, modeling and simulation have become valuable techniques to understand and optimize this enormous challenge. Although research on building simulation has a long history, simulation research has also progressed significantly over the last few decades.
We believe that these areas can contribute greatly to each other, enabling the construction of an advanced systems-based building simulation framework. This ambitious research agenda will require multi-disciplinary cooperation and a more explicit collaboration to further advance and accelerate progress on holistic systems-based simulation for minimizing resource consumption and GHG emissions, while maximizing occupant comfort. This project will work towards the creation of this next-generation collaborative simulation framework.
