The conversion of a Building Information Model (BIM) to a Building Energy Model (BEM) has typically been technically challenging. While BIM platforms like Revit provide architects...
In response to an increased need for energy efficiency to meet climate targets, most new or recently retrofitted buildings are becoming more airtight to reduce heat loss. While...
Last week the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Alliance for Buildings & Construction (GlobalABC) released their latest Global Status Report for...
High-performance building design requires a strong understanding of solar radiation, daylight penetration, and their impact on energy efficiency, HVAC loads, and occupant comfort....
Are the days of traditional BMS and energy management systems over? Energy managers, facilities managers and sustainability leaders have a new opportunity to take: move beyond...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has long been a critical tool for optimizing airflow, heat transfer, and thermal comfort in buildings. Traditionally, implementing CFD analysis...
Did you miss our recent retrofit masterclass with edie? The session is now available to watch on demand. Last week, IES joined forces with edie for a live masterclass as part of...
Have you ever stepped into a building that felt freezing in the summer or overheated in the winter, despite a seemingly sophisticated HVAC system? More often than not, this stems...
Geometry is one of the foundations of any building performance simulation. It defines how heat moves through a space, how sunlight enters a building, and how HVAC loads are...
Late last year, IES ran a series of lecture-style sessions covering key analyses that can be undertaken using IESVE. With over 100 questions submitted across the sessions,...
Q&A with Kevin Truss, Senior Architectural Technologist at Coombes Everitt Architects We recently caught up with Kevin Truss, Senior Architectural Technologist at Coombes...
During our recent session "Using IESVE for ASHRAE 90.1 Compliance", common themes emerged within the questions asked by attendees. To tackle these questions, we turned to Mithi...
To reach net-zero, rethinking what we do with existing buildings is a non-negotiable. From simple operational optimisation interventions, to more in-depth retrofit upgrades and...
Following on from part one of this two part Q&A series, Mark Gifford tackles more of your questions around Data & Metering strategies for Digital Twin development,...
