Project StaSIO has been developed by IBPSA-USA’s Architectural Simulations subcommittee. It is an online website populated with crowd-sourced simulation graphics and case studies organized around the ASHRAE 209 framework. The objective of this competition is
to catalyze crowd-sourced submissions to Project StaSIO through execution of an online competition for Project StaSIO’s two forms of submissions: 1) Graphic Outputs and 2) Case Studies. The webinar will provide some background on the project and its objectives. <br>
