Abstract

To provide substantial improvements in indoor environment and energy consumption levels, there is a need to treat a building with its associated systems as a complete entity, not as the sum of a number of separate systems. Building performance simulation is ideal for this. This paper discusses some issues that hinder the routine use of simulation in building design. In particular, the paper discusses the issues of quality assurance, the relative slow software developments and the limited use (usability) of building performance simulation during the total life cycle of a building. Possible solutions are also discussed by introducing our current research.
