Building Performance Simulation and the User
Special Issue in the Journal ofBuilding Performance Simulation
Aiming to encourage the Building Performance Simulation (BPS) communityto take a more 'user centric' approach to BPS, this special issue in Journal ofBuilding Performance Simulation (JBPS) attempts to unfold how: 1)?????BPS might be used in various contexts; 2)?????Different built environment professions mightinteract with BPS; 3)?????Performance assessment could be or is undertakenby users with different levels of knowledge of building physics andenvironmental design.
Contributions are invited in thefollowing areas to be submitted for peer review, although other topics are alsowelcome:??????????Tasks and goals of BPS users and potential users??????????Problems with using BPS ??????????Users and BPS quality assurance ??????????Interaction of users with BPS and computersystems ??????????Teaching BPS to users
