.: IBPSA Journal of Building Performance Simulation (JBPS)
The first
issue of IBPSA Journal of Building Performance Simulation (JBPS) is going to
be published in March 2008. Information about the journal - including
instructions for authors and email contents alerting - is available at the website.
(Note that the discounted IBPSA member subscription rate of US$ 49 is not yet
included on the website.)
The JBPS is an
international refereed journal, publishing only articles of the highest
quality that are original, cutting-edge, well-researched
and of significance to the international community. The journal also
publishes original review papers and researched case studies of international
significance.
The wide scope
of JBPS embraces research, technology and tool development related to
building performance modelling and simulation, as
well as their applications to design, operation and management of the built
environment. This includes modelling and simulation
aspects of building performance in relation to other research areas such as
building physics, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, control
engineering, facility management, architecture, ergonomics, psychology,
physiology, computational engineering, information technology and education.
The scope of topics includes the following:
·
Theoretical aspects of building performance modelling
and simulation.
·
Methodology and application of building performance simulation for any
stage of design, construction, commissioning, operation or management of
buildings and the systems which service them.
·
Uncertainty, sensitivity analysis, calibration, and optimization.
·
Methods and algorithms for performance optimization of building and
the systems which service them.
·
Methods and algorithms for software design, validation, verification
and solution methods.
All articles
published in JBPS have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial
editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
