CIBSE BSG Event – Overheating: Approved Document O – 20 October 2022

The CIBSE Building Simulation Group hosted a hybrid event aimed at modellers tackling Part O assessments using the Dynamic Thermal Modelling approach. The event was led by three experts: Ben Abel of Hilson Moran, Jack Harvie-Clark of Apex Acoustics, and Susie Diamond of Inkling, who shared their thoughts and recommendations on what they believe are the most challenging and confusing aspects of Part O assessments. They emphasised the need for consistent and appropriate approaches to these assessments, and highlighted some of the most confusing and tricky aspects of the analysis.

CIBSE BSG Event – Updates to Part L2A – 29 September 2022

The CIBSE Building Simulation Group hosted a hybrid event focusing on the updates of the Part L, Volume 2: ‘Buildings other than dwelling’. We were pleased to host Baran Tanriverdi from Mott MacDonald and Monika Potomska from Sweco, who presented the major updates to the regulations in comparison to Part L 2013, showcased a few case studies comparing the performance between Part L 2013 and 2021, and discussed what might be still missing and the potential changes that might come in the future.

CIBSE BSG & IBPSA-England event: Estimating airborne infection through simulation & analysis: 5 May 2021 

See our blog for further details.

Recent wider acceptance of far-field being significant, if not primary in some circumstances, transmission route for SARS-CoV-2 has thrown a late focus on how the ventilation design and operation of our buildings might support a reduction in infection rates. Speakers from academia and industry discuss some of the simulation and analysis tools and methods used to understand airborne infection in the built environment and some of the latest research programmes that have been designed to further improve our understanding and applications.

Build 2 Perform 2020: November 2020
Building Simulation Awards 

See our blog for further details.

The BSG Group hosted the building simulation awards celebrating the best in professional building simulation. The six presentations from the successful short-listed entries covering many aspects of building simulation are as follows:

  • Artelia - Innovative Method to minimize simulation & analysis time
  • Atelier Ten - Jewel Changi Airport
  • Chapmanbdsp - Manoel Island
  • WSP - Modelling the World’s Tallest Tower
  • Cundall - Optimisation of overheating assessments for residential and commercial buildings using python in IESVE
  • Hilson Moran - Healthy Cities

Once the finalists had completed their presentations and the judges headed off to deliberate, our sponsors presented some of their latest developments and took part in a discussion on the future of the building simulation.

  • David Cocking - Design Builder
  • Andrew Hilmy - EDSL
  • Eric Roberts - IES
  • Naghman Khan - SimScale
  • Nick Hopper - Monodraught

Hacking Simulation: 20th of March 2018

The Simulation of buildings is going through a fast transformation period with the increase use of coding to simulate and analyse buildings. As the industry realising the power of these developments, a new generation of coding design engineers is appearing and many more are keen on expanding their knowledge on coding.  This free seminar aimed at providing insight into coding and how to maximise the benefit of simulation packages.
