<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
Building performance simulation (BPS) tools employ a large number of mathematical models to simulate a building's performance under a given set of weather and operating conditions. Many aspects of performance can be appraised, including energy consumption,
ventilation effectiveness, thermal comfort, lighting quality, etc. The objective is to represent the significant physical processes so that the simulation provides an accurate—or at least a useful—representation of reality.<br>
<br>
This talk will argue the necessity for teaching the fundamentals of how BPS tools model physical processes, the impact of modelling choices, and the significance of input data, including hidden defaults, as opposed to training on tool operation. It will introduce
the book Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation that I have authored in an attempt to address this need and will demonstrate the methods I use to teach this topic at the postgraduate and professional development levels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
