Item 2: Building Performance Simulation and the User
Special Issue of the Journal of Building Performance Simulation, and focus of IBPSA 2019 Webinar series.
Guest edited by Dr. Clarice Bleil de Souza (Cardiff University) and Dr. Simon Tucker (Liverpool John Moores University), this Special Issue introduces emerging perspectives and initiatives on ‘user-centric’ approaches to building performance simulation, discussing how to better integrate the use and development of simulation tools with different user goals and ways of working. The six papers included address the following topics:
- Goals and tasks of BPS users
- The different levels of knowledge needed to use BPS
- The interaction of users with BPS
The SI is accompanied by a webinar series that includes an introduction to the SI and the topic, and six further webinars delivered by the authors of each paper.
