Initiatives for students

 

IBPSA-Italy and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano are pleased to announce the

 

4th Student School on
Building Performance Simulation Applications

Study of the Urban Heat Island effect: from weather data to UBEM simulations with building archetypes

The school, which is part of the special program for graduate and PhD Students, will take place on Wednesday 26th June , with an all-day program (Campus of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Piazza Università1, E Building, Classroom E3.22).

Morning session (9:00 – 12:30)
  • Prof. Giovanni Pernigotto (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano): “Introduction to the Urban Heat Island phenomena”
  • Prof. Marco Manzan (University of Trieste): “Weather data for energy simulation”
  • Prof. Ilaria Ballarini (Polytechnic University of Torino): “UBEM in a changing climate: from the building archetype to the urban archetype concept”
  • Prof. Gianpiero Evola (University of Catania): “Modeling outdoor thermal comfort in urban canyons: methods and experiences”
Afternoon session (14:00 – 16:30)
  • Dr. Laura Carnieletto (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice): “Goals and challenges of building archetypes for urban scale energy simulations”
  • Prof. Angelo Zarrella , Dr. Jacopo Vivian and Dr. Enrico Prataviera (University of Padova): “Urban Scale Energy Simulations: modelling approaches, practical aspects and challenges for researchers”

The workshop is open to graduate and PhD students and is included in the registration fee for the conference Building Simulation Applications BSA 2024.

Student competition

The best papers have been selected by a committee with members from the Students Tutoring Scientific Committee, based both on the reviewers’ comments and on the scientific merit of the students’ researches. The papers of the finalists will be presented in a dedicated session and the 3 best ones awarded with a certification from IBPSA-Italy on June 28th.
