Program announced for Building Simulation 2025

The conference will bring together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to explore cutting-edge tools, sustainable design strategies, and the latest advancements in simulation technology.

This year’s event will feature an inspiring lineup of expert presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and keynote speakers from around the world.

The full program of 400+ speakers across nine conference rooms is now available on the BS2025 website.

“We’re proud to release the BS2025 program, showcasing the depth and breadth of work taking place across the building simulation community,” says AIRAH Head of Conferences, Events and Business Development Marie Karekla.

Key conference topics and themes

The conference will cover five overarching topics in which simulation has a major role to play:

• Climate change mitigation and adaption
• Energy efficiency and sustainability
• Innovative design exploration and urban transformation
• Urban planning and smart cities
• Indoor environmental quality

Within those topics, presentations will touch on the following themes:

1. Implementation of building simulation in zero energy/carbon design and operation including leveraging big data, machine learning and digital twins
2. Advances in the modelling of built environment resource flows and use, such as daylighting, lighting, energy, thermal flows, air, water, and sound
3. Developments in the modelling of human comfort and performance in the built environment
4. Improvements in the empirical and theoretical modelling of building systems (e.g., smart window systems, innovative HVAC systems)
5. Integration of building automation systems and advanced controls
6. Renewable energy, energy capture and storage, grid interaction, and real-time xero carbon
7. Advances in applications including modelling micro-climate, indoor air quality as well as outdoor climate, and
8. Use of simulation in regulation and code compliance, including application to inform policy
