This webinar explores the psychology of simulation users interacting with two similar simulation tools and tracks the different patterns of design exploration, outcome, and user satisfaction that result. It focuses on the importance of accurate real-time feedback to enhance the abilities of designers and building analysts. In a study, 40 subjects with backgrounds in building design and technology completed two shading design exercises to balance glare reduction and annual daylight availability in two open office arrangements using two simulation tools with differing system response times, AcceleradRT and DIVA-for-Rhino. Subjects with access to real-time simulation feedback tested more design options, reported higher confidence in design performance and increased satisfaction with the design task, and produced better-performing final designs with respect to spatial daylight autonomy and enhanced simplified daylight glare probability.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Nathaniel Jones is a building scientist, educator, and software developer. He is currently an Advanced Technology & Research analyst at Arup and teaches building science at the University of San Francisco. His background spans architectural design, engineering, and computer science, with emphasis tools that aid informed decision making in early design. He is the developer of Accelerated, a suite of open-source GPU-based lighting and daylighting simulation tools used by architects, engineers, and educators around the world. Dr. Jones is active in the building science community and serves as chair of the International Building Performance Simulation Association-USA chapter’s Research Committee and the subcommittee on Emerging Simulation Technologies. He is the author of multiple journal and conference papers related to building energy and daylighting simulation, and he has regularly been an invited speaker on the application of parallel computation to building simulation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'>Rajan Rawal</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'>Executive Director, Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Energy</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'>CEPT University, K.L.Campus, Navarangpura, Ahmedabad 380 009 INDIA</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'>Phone: +9179 2630 2470 Ext 356, Email: </span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><a href="mailto:rajanrawal@cept.ac.in" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060'>rajanrawal@cept.ac.in</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cept.ac.in_&d=DwMFAw&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=J_5Se1lKut5LjnWVL-llofJOsl2Spn27ADSGHdpDoFM&m=gadr0WM1wpJ3hf8ojX2BZ-9J3ttXymjWhIfbSLmy8k4&s=ijADNXkNney5Re5ENSHCURzmMGATyuw8JtMXYz2cK1Q&e=" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060'>www.cept.ac.in</span></a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'> / </span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.carbse.org_&d=DwMFAw&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=J_5Se1lKut5LjnWVL-llofJOsl2Spn27ADSGHdpDoFM&m=gadr0WM1wpJ3hf8ojX2BZ-9J3ttXymjWhIfbSLmy8k4&s=sfDOt9oR7rkg_MLnphXgCtXe4c9JXb0KAxXi2pcPSGM&e=" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060'>www.carbse.org</span></a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Ebrima;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'> / <a href="https://globalcoolingprize.org/"><span style='color:blue'>https://globalcoolingprize.org/</span></a> </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'> http://www.inumber.org/</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-IN'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
