[BLDG-SIM] Use of BPS in design practice

[CK Tang]

Christina,

Over the past 2-3 years, I have been using BPS, namely IES, not for code 
compliance but for actual design of demonstration buildings, such as the 
Low Energy Office and  Zero Energy Office in Malaysia. Extensive use of 
daylighting simulation were conducted to ensure that the building will 
get evenly distributed daylight for most of the daytime hours while 
energy simulation were conducted to ensure that the system in place have 
reasonable payback periods while meeting the energy target.

Kind regards,

CK
