The 2015 Building Simulation Group Award for Best MSc Dissertation is now open for applications.
The international competition is open to any individual or a group who are currently or recently studied at postgraduate level & whose work directly addresses a topic in the area of building modelling and simulation (excluding PhD research).
The current award will focus on projects involving the application and development of advanced simulation techniques and/or software for predicting the performance of buildings and environmental control systems. Topics that are considered for this award can be in the topics below or related areas, with modelling being the focus:
* Building physics
* Compliance and performance
* Dynamic thermal modelling
* HVAC systems
* Computational fluid dynamics
* Daylighting and artificial lighting
This year, there will be three prizes awarded; for the winner and for the two runners-up, as follows:
?1000 Winner Prize plus 12-month unlimited laptop Licence for the IES VE-Pro software suite and a seat at one of IES public 3 day training courses at a date which suits the winner, worth over ?7,000.
Two Runners-up Prizes of ?250 each for further two outstanding works selected from the current applications
