Abstract

Building performance simulation (BPS) is a powerful tool to support building and system designers in emulating how orientation, building type, HVAC system etc. interacts the overall building performance. Currently, simulation tools are used only for code compliance neither to make informed choices between different design options nor for building and/ or system optimization. BPS could/ should be used in a way of indicating design solutions, introducing an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis and building and/ or system optimization. In this paper some steps of ongoing research will be introduced and described briefly as well as some preliminary results will be presented.
