IBPSA-USA’s Certification Committee is focused on improving quality control of building performance analysis for code compliance and beyond-code programs.  The Committee has developed draft framework documents outlining certification program requirements for software, modelers, and model reviewers. These certifications will contribute to developing a scalable solution to promote wider adoption of performance-based compliance and incentive programs and to better support the increased use of building performance simulation to meet aggressive emission/energy goals. The committee requests your feedback on the three draft certification frameworks:  ☑ Building energy modeling (BEM) software certification ☑ Modeler certification ☑ Model reviewer certification All frameworks can be found at: https://lnkd.in/ghM8cwvF Feedback can be provided through the following forms:  ✍ Building energy modeling (BEM) software certification feedback form: https://lnkd.in/gVvEmrnX ✍ Modeler certification feedback form: https://lnkd.in/g8VmkpM3 ✍ Model reviewer certification feedback form: https://lnkd.in/gvT37psj #buildingperformance #buildingsimulation

I am so excited to see #UPenn EBD fellows contributing at the forefront of various fields (software development, academic research, teaching, industry practice) and reuniting at the same conference. IBPSA-USA #simbuild

IBPSA-USA is YOUR community. And a community is the sum of its volunteers. Today's spotlight is on Dr. Aysegul Demir Dilsiz (aka Aysha Demir), an admirable force of passion and commitment to all those who are lucky to cross paths with her. With a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, her expertise lies in building energy simulations and urban energy models to assess climate change impacts. Her teaching and research are driven by a commitment to sustainable building practices, technological innovation in energy efficiency, and validation/calibration for better larger-scale energy modeling tools. Here's what Aysha had to say about her IBPSA-USA experience: "The best part of being an IBPSA-USA member is the opportunity to engage in discussions about building performance, access a wealth of educational resources, and participate in informative webinars. The collaborative environment and the availability of expert resources are truly exceptional." Read more at: https://lnkd.in/guDCNCKZ #buildingperformance #buildingsimulation #volunteerism
