In-house architecture simulation services. Is this an achievable and worthwhile prospect? Does building performance simulation add value to an architecture practice? Is it worth the time and trouble? These are examples of the questions that Jacob Dunn has been
 grappling with since leaving the University of Idaho Integrated Design Lab over a year ago to bring architectural simulation to Eskew+Dumez+Riplle (EDR), a New Orleans-based, design-first practice and AIA Firm of the Year recipient in 2014. Over the past year,
 Jacob has worked with their director of Building Performance and Sustainability, Z Smith, to integrate performance-driven design throughout their studio. This presentation will cover the trials and tribulations of this task, while proposing frameworks and
 initiatives firms can use that encourage performance based design and building simulation in practice. Jacob will discuss the need for the redefinition of the way firms think about design, how they structure project teams, and how they implement new technologies
 and tools at every stage of the design process, Finally, Jacob will present EDR implementation case studies and initiatives piloted by the firm to provide insight into the difficulty and value that simulation can provide to design and sustainability.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jacob Dunn grew up in the Boise, Idaho in the Pacific Northwest (ASHRAE Climate Zone 5B) before recently moving to his new home in New Orleans (ASHRAE Climate Zone 2A). He holds a Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Idaho
 and his professional background has pivoted between research, sustainability consulting, education, and architecture.  After working for about a year in London for ARUP's Foresight Innovation and Incubation group, Jacob finished his degree and started working
 at the University of Idaho's Integrated Design Lab (IDL).  At the IDL, he specialized in consulting through architectural simulation, conducted research on energy efficiency, and taught various graduate-level architecture courses.  Jacob used simulation on
 a daily basis for both architectural and engineering analysis, and across a broad spectrum of building types in both new and existing structures.  After four years of being a Research Scientist, he was recruited out of Idaho to Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (EDR) and
 tasked with enabling evidenced-based design and simulation analysis to their award-winning design firm.  At EDR, Jacob currently works with design teams to explore the link between aesthetics and performance through simulation and a scientific approach to
 sustainability.<o:p></o:p></p>
