Preliminary program
10:00 – 11:00
Introduction to optimization and multi-objective optimization in building performance simulation and presentation of the case-study.
The case study will be based on an office building and focused on the design optimization of a façade, considering energy, economic and comfort goals.

11:00 – 13:30 and 14:30 – 17:00
Practice: parallel sessions about guided application of IDA ICE and IES VE to the analysis and the optimization of the case study. Participant students will be divided into two groups and each building simulation code will be presented both in the morning and in the afternoon.
The comparison between the results of the optimizations with different building simulation codes will be discussed at the presence of the Students’ Tutoring Scientific Committee on February 10th afternoon at the beginning of the round table.
The workshop is open to graduate and PhD students and is included in the registration fee for the conference Building Simulation Applications BSA 2017.
Other students’ events
- Student competition: selected papers will be presented in a dedicated session and the best ones awarded with a certification from IBPSA Italy and unibz on February 10th.
- Students’ Round Table session: in the afternoon of February 10th, a round table will be organized with the aim of facilitating students to establish new contacts and collaborations. Participating students will be grouped according to their main research topics and invited to introduce each other, present their academic experience, main research topics and activities, as well as research methodologies and goals, in about 5-10 minutes for each. Suggestions, comments and methods will be shared within each thematic group under the advice of the members of the Students’ Tutoring Scientific Committee.
