Architects and designers have a crucial role to play in meeting global sustainability targets. With the built environment accounting for a staggering 34% of global carbon emissions, it’s no longer enough to deliver buildings that are simply functional and beautifully designed. Sustainability, efficiency and overall performance is fast becoming an imperative.
This means that building performance modelling is no longer a “nice-to-have” but an essential tool for any architect that is serious about sustainable building design. By providing early insight into how design choices influence energy use, CO2 emissions, thermal comfort, lighting, and airflow, these tools are critical to delivering buildings that are not only beautifully designed, but truly fit for the future.
Today, IES is pleased to announce the release of a new Building Performance Modelling for Architects whitepaper, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and benefits of integrating building performance modelling into early-stage design workflows.
