Abstract
Building Simulation applications (BSA) 2024 was the sixth IBPSA-Italy Conference on building performance simulation to take place at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, from 26th to 28th June 2024. This edition covered a plurality of topics ranging from the study of the performance of components of the building envelope and of the HVAC system to the analysis of the existing building stock and urban-scale simulations, of indoor environmental quality and occupants' behaviour to support advanced building design, optimization of energy efficiency and flexibility.
The principal mission of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) is to promote and advance the practice of building performance simulation in order to improve the design, construction, operation and maintenance of new and existing buildings. IBPSA-Italy, the Italian affiliate, is a non-profit association, which includes researchers, developers and practitioners acting on the topic of building performance simulation. IBPSA-Italy was founded in January 2011 and has now more than 200 members including university professors, researchers, professionals, software developers and students.
