About

The International Building Performance Simulation Association, is a non-profit international society of building performance simulation researchers, developers and practitioners, dedicated to improving the built environment.

IBPSA-Australasia is the Australian and New Zealand regional affiliate of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). The mission of IBPSA-Australasia is to advance and promote the science of building simulation in order to improve the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of new and existing buildings by:

• Facilitating the exchange of information among members and others with interest in building simulation through meetings, electronic publication, and other means.

• Engaging in educational initiatives designed to enhance the teaching of building simulation in educational institutions and directly to building industry practitioners.

• Sponsoring research and develop programs aimed at improving the technology of building simulation.

• Supporting harmonization activities to regularise the application of building simulation through activities such as participation in development of building codes and rating systems.

• Forming strategic alliances with professional organisations, such as engineering and architectural societies, to promote mutual understanding of the requirements of other professions and the effective use of building simulation technology.

​

Our Mission: 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 worldwide.

​

Our Vision: To take a leading role in the promotion and development of building simulation technology, IBPSA aims to provide a forum for researchers, developers and practitioners to review building model developments, Facilitate evaluation, encourage the use of software programs, address standardization, accelerate integration and technology technology transfer.

​

Bottom line: IBPSA wants to improve buildings through simulation, promote technological development, and provide a forum to come together.
