This paper contrasts two different paradigms of design thinking: the one of the dynamic
thermal simulation tool users with the one of the building designer. It shows that, in theory …

This paper describes an experiment in which building designers were trained to use
building thermal physics to inform design decision making. Designers were presented with a …

This paper examines collaborative relationships between architects and energy consultants,
for the uptake and use of building performance simulation (BPS). BPS is thought to hold …

INTEGRATED performance simulation of buildings and heating, ventilation and air-
conditioning (HVAC) systems can help in reducing energy consumption and increasing level …

Due to advances in computing and modeling, the Architecture Engineering and Construction
(AEC) industry has arrived at an era of digital empiricism. Computational simulation tools are …

This paper presents the results of an online survey that was conducted in 2014 to assess the
evolution of computing in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) education. A …

With the increasing international shift from prescriptive to performance-based regulations, a
legislative call for the integration of predictive assessment tools in the design process has …

In the UK, boom periods of construction combined with typical building styles of the day,
have resulted in a large stock of ageing office buildings at risk of structural vacancy and …

Computational simulation is one of the most powerful tools in our world today-it is used to
simulate everything from war to economic growth. Modeling and simulation of building …

This paper presents the development of a novel school outline design, which can be applied
in the different climate zones of Turkiye, underpinned by building performance simulation …
