Building Simulation and Optimization (BSO) conference provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge on the development and application of building performance simulation to optimum design and operation of buildings.
The main conference themes are:
- New building performance simulation methods (e.g., energy, comfort, daylighting, airflow, air quality)
- New approaches for optimizing design and operation
- New decision support methods for real world applications (e.g., design, compliance, commissioning, predictive control, retrofit)
- Advances in model calibration, uncertainty analysis, and validation methods
- Occupant behaviour modelling
- Urban- and district-scale simulation of energy and environment
- Innovative applications of simulation in practice
The conference took place on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 September with the conference dinner on Tuesday evening. A walking tour of Cambridge took place on Monday afternoon, which all conference participants were welcome to join.
