> *Event Description*
>
> For decades building performance simulation research and tool development
> have focused on producing increasingly reliable simulation engines which
> are now capable of predicting the physical performance of commonly used
> building typologies and technologies. With the growing use of these tools
> in practice and education, a new set of requirements is emerging. How can
> we make sure that novices are using the tools accurately? Instead of “just”
> getting a performance evaluation at the end of design, how can we use
> simulations to give birth to new, environmentally responsive design
> solutions? How do we get owners to trust in simulation results?  This
> presentation will deal with a series of related projects that demonstrate
> how integrated daylight and energy simulations can serve new purposes from
> as acting as a form-givers for architecture to providing nuanced
> cost estimations for owners at the individual building and neighborhood
> scale.

> *About the Speaker*
>
> Christoph Reinhart is a recently appointed Associate Professor of Building
> Technology at MIT. Before joining the MIT Architecture Department he led
> the sustainable design concentration area at Harvard GSD and worked for
> over a decade as a staff scientist at the National Research Council of
> Canada and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Germany.
> His research expertise is in sustainable building design especially
> modeling lighting and energy use of buildings and neighborhoods. The design
> tools developed by his group include DIVA-for-Rhino and Daysim and are used
> by thousands of architecture and engineering firms in over 90 countries.
> Christoph serves on the editorial board of several journals including the
> IBPSA Journal of Building Performance Simulation and has authored over 100
> scientific articles including three book chapters. His research has been
> supported by a variety of organizations including Natural Resources Canada,
> the National Science Foundation, Autodesk, and the Harvard Real Estate
> Academic Initiative and has won a number of awards including the 2009 ARUP
> and the 2010 Leon Gaster Prices.
