The future role of building performance simulation
Professor Joe Clarke, University of Strathclyde Joe Clarke is the Director of the Energy Systems Research Unit and BRE Centre of Excellence in Energy Utilisation at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. He is a founder member and past President of the International Building Performance Simulation Association and presently leads the organisation’s Futures Committee, which addresses the evolution of energy performance assessment tools. His research interests range from the efficient utilisation of energy within the built environment through options for sustainable energy supply, taking into account the range of technical and social issues that impact on decision-making. His work involves the development and dissemination of software tools for options appraisal to help reduce energy demand, accelerate the take-up of new and renewable energy technologies, mitigate environmental impacts and improve human well-being. |
