IBPSA-USA Education Committee: Performance Modeling in Early Design Phases

Whole-building energy simulation has become more common over the last two decades, but it’s not necessarily having a big impact on design decisions. Many design decisions are made during the early phases of a project with regards to passive strategies or envelope and system selection. Performance analysis is crucial during those phases. But is it done on all the projects? What are the challenges faced by the design teams and how do they overcome them? Dan Stine, Melissa Kelly and Brett Horin discuss these challenges and their process to ensure performance analysis helps with the design decisions.
Presented by: IBPSA-USA's Education Committee featuring Dan Stine, Melissa Kelly and Brett Horin (LakelFlato, Gensler, CannonDesign).
