Building Performance Simulation and the User
Special Issue in the Journal of
Building Performance Simulation
Aiming to encourage the Building Performance Simulation (BPS) community
to take a more 'user centric' approach to BPS, this special issue in Journal of
Building Performance Simulation (JBPS) attempts to unfold how:
1)
BPS might be used in various contexts;
2)
Different built environment professions might
interact with BPS;
3)
Performance assessment could be or is undertaken
by users with different levels of knowledge of building physics and
environmental design.
Contributions are invited in the
following areas to be submitted for peer review, although other topics are also
welcome:
?
Tasks and goals of BPS users and potential users
?
Problems with using BPS
?
Users and BPS quality assurance
?
Interaction of users with BPS and computer
systems
?
Teaching BPS to users
