Building Energy Simulation
Simulation tools and methods for analyzing building performance, energy consumption, and environmental impact.
Building energy simulation encompasses computational analysis of how buildings perform thermally and energetically across different conditions. Designers use these simulations to optimize passive strategies, material choices, and building systems before construction.The community explores energy simulation through realized projects including zero-energy and passive house designs, sustainable institutional buildings, and residential typologies that integrate environmental performance with architectural form. Work ranges from small-scale housing interventions to larger mixed-use developments that negotiate energy efficiency with urban context.
