ABOUT US
IBPSA-England is the English regional affiliate of the world-wide acting International Building Performance Simulation Association (www.ibpsa.org).
IBPSA-England was founded to advance and promote the science of building performance simulation in order to improve the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of new and existing buildings, through the provision of a forum for the exchange of information between researchers, developers and practitioners operating in the area of building performance simulation and related issues.
Any individual or organisation with an interest in the field of building simulation can become a member of IBPSA-England
The co-signatories of the first IBPSA-England Chapter were:
- Ian Ward – University of Sheffield
- Malcolm Cook – De Montfort University
- Pieter de Wilde – University of Plymouth
- Jonathan Wright – University of Loughborough
- Martin Mayfield – ARUP
- Dejan Mumovic – University College London
- Simon Rees – De Montfort University
- Hasim Altan – University of Sheffield
- Andrew Wright – De Montfort University
