BuildSIM-Nordic 2020. Selected papers. International Conference Organised by IBPSA-Nordic, 13th–14th October 2020, OsloMet

Abstract

Preface. The BuildSim-Nordic 2020 conference is the first in a series of events with a long-term objective to establish a key biannual international conference in building performance simulation, with a strong focus on Nordic countries. The purpose is to create a platform for exchanging ideas, issues, and research findings that facilitates international collaboration and the meeting of minds between practitioners, researchers, and students. This book contains selected papers approved by the reviewers and the scientific committee of the BuildSim-Nordic 2020 conference, October 13th & 14th 2020. The conference was hosted by OsloMet University in Oslo, Norway, and organized in cooperation between the Nordic chapter of IBPSA, OsloMet and NORVAC. All submissions to the conference underwent a review process and presentation type was determined. Two blind reviewers evaluated each paper, a third reviewer was asked for evaluation in cases where the first two reviewers were not in good agreement. The selected full papers are of a high quality theoretical (scientific) nature. IBPSA-Nordic is a regional affiliate of IBPSA, the International Building Performance Simulation Association, for four countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. IBPSA-Nordic is linked to IBPSA-World association but acts as an independent organization.
