Symposium Aim

The overall aim of the symposium is to bring together graduate students and researchers from  Irish third-level institutions who are engaged in research related to analysis and simulation of the built environment. Given the diversity of ongoing research, the symposium will act as a unique forum to highlight both the breadth and depth of  activity  in  the  building  performance  analysis  arena,  as  well  as  providing  an  opportunity  for  researchers  to share their experiences. Invited keynote speakers at the symposium will be Prof. Wangda Zuo, Pennsylvania State University, USA and Dr Spencer Dutton, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA.
