SimBuild Conferences

IBPSA-USA convened the SimBuild conference every other year from 2004 to 2012 as a forum for sharing information through peer-reviewed papers. Since 2014, IBPSA-USA has partnered with ASHRAE to co-host a bi-annual conference that is now called Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild. This joint conference includes peer-reviewed scientific paper presentations, which have always been a feature of Simbuild, with practitioner case studies and seminars on a range of building performance simulation topics. IBPSA-USA appoints a Scientific Committee to solicit and review paper submissions for these conferences.
