Youngjin Hwang, Assistant Professor of Architecture, recently presented research at the 2022 Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild hosted by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the International Building Performance Simulation Association USA Regional Division (IBPSA-USA).
Held in Chicago, the conference focused on improving the decision-making process through the application of simulation and modeling over the entire building life cycle. Practitioners, vendors, researchers, utility and government officials, and owners addressed the practices of energy modeling and building performance simulation using existing simulation tools, software development, and future simulation research and applications.
Professor Hwang’s climate adaptive opaque building envelope system
Professor Hwang presented a climate-adaptive opaque building envelope system developed by his interdisciplinary team. He shared the shared the design’s simulation and modeling techniques using Modelica. Hwang’s presentation also covered challenges in conventional simulation tools to model dynamic building systems.
