Your ideas and answers will be very valuable for my master thesis conducted in Izmir Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture in Turkey. As active energy analysts, your perspective and knowledge on the possibilities and limitations of simulation tools will enable us to understand the role of architects in the simulation process. <br>This survey aims to collect information from the users of energy simulation tools in the academic institutions and/or market (by architects, engineers, designers, LEED AP).<br>The questionnaire consists of 18 questions, and takes approximately 10-15 minutes. The survey questions consist of the following three main headings.<br>1. Users' backgrounds and experiences with BPS tools;<br>2. Tools’ integration into the design process and satisfaction with graphic outputs<br>3. Usability, possibilities and limitations of simulation programs<br></span></td></tr><tr height="20px"><td></tr><tr style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 24px;"><td dir="auto"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_jF6MK6n9LIRHR_wJqNMw0krlrCkFxzhXdf96WrvRDUdxEA/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&usp=mail_form_link" style="color: rgb(126,171,90); text-decoration: none; vertical-align: middle; font-weight: 500">SURVEY ON BUILDING PERFORMANCE SIMULATION (BPS) TOOLS USERS </a><div itemprop="action" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ViewAction"><meta itemprop="url" content="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_jF6MK6n9LIRHR_wJqNMw0krlrCkFxzhXdf96WrvRDUdxEA/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&usp=mail_goto_form"><meta itemprop="name" content="Fill out form"></div></td></tr><tr height="16px"></tr><tr><td style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; color: #424242;" dir="auto">research</td></tr><tr height="24px"></tr><tr><td><div class="ss-form" style=""><form action="https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_jF6MK6n9LIRHR_wJqNMw0krlrCkFxzhXdf96WrvRDUdxEA/formResponse" method="POST" id="ss-form" target="_self" style=""><ol role="list" class="ss-question-list" style="padding-left: 0;list-style-type:none;">
