With the advent of powerful cloud computing, a new ‘Pedestrian Comfort Analysis’ application has been developed by simulationHub that performs the CFD simulations on the cloud and provides comfort and safety plots for large-scale models within hours. Through introduction and case study, this session illustrates the ‘Pedestrian Comfort Analysis’ app to assess pedestrian wind comfort and safety across urban building design.

SimClub is excited to have Victoria Herrero-Garcia present about Embodied Carbon, Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA.

IBPSA-USA’s Building Data Exchange subcommittee is hosting a webinar related to the advancements on various building data exchange formats.

IBPSA Project 1 develops open-source software that builds the basis of next generation computing tools for the design and operation of building and district energy and control systems. Conducted from 2017 to 2022, it is joined by 29 institutes and extends work previously conducted under IEA EBC Annex 60.

This webinar is targeted toward energy modelers, energy auditors, engineers, architects, software vendors, and generally anyone who is interested in learning about Building Information Modeling (BIM) to Building Energy Modeling (BEM) workflows utilizing gbXML and the new gbXML validator.

The IBPSA-USA Education Committee is hosting a 2-part webinar series on future-looking emission factors with industry experts. The September webinar provides an introduction to the different types of future-looking emission factors that are available and presentations about the development process.

This presentation, sponsored by cove.tool,  will explore the challenges and opportunities to go from early stage to compliance level building energy modeling.
