Building Energy Performance Simulation
Building Energy Performance Simulation is a computational method for predicting how much energy a building consumes for heating, cooling, lighting, and equipment operation under specified weather and occupancy conditions. Pioneered by researchers like Joe Clarke and Drury Crawley in the 1990s, it has become essential for design optimization, compliance demonstration, and operational planning.
