Ian Beausoleil-Morrison is a Professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Design at Carleton University where he is the Canada Research Professor in Innovative Energy Systems for Residential Buildings. His research interests include solar housing, seasonal thermal storage, and BPS. Prior to joining Carleton University in 2007, he worked for 16 years at CanmetENERGY (a Canadian government laboratory) where he led a team of researchers developing BPS models and tools to support industry and government programmes. Professor Beausoleil-Morrison was President of IBPSA from 2010 to 2015, Vice-President from 2006 to 2010, and founded IBPSA-Canada and initiated the eSim conference series in 2001. He also cofounded and is the Co-Editor-in-Chief of IBPSA’s Journal of Building Performance Simulation and is a Fellow of IBPSA.
In 2021, IBPSA bestowed upon him its Distinguished Achievement Award in recognition of more than three decades of contributions to the research, development, and validation of BPS models and tools, to training, supporting, and educating practitioners and students, and for service to the profession.
<p><i>Integrated building design is paramount to highly energy efficient buildings. Building simulation is fundamental in this process. Prof. Beausoleil-Morrison brings us the second edition of this fantastic textbook, based on his experiential teaching method, that helps us to develop the critical view so necessary in a building simulation professional. It will become a ‘must have’ for all universities with courses in this area.</i></p><p>Roberto Lamberts, Laboratory for Energy Efficiency in Buildings, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil</p><p><i>Especially in the current era of BIG DATA and AI, physics-based models are very important. They are crucial in realizing the necessary transition to a carbon-neutral society. Ian Beausoleil-Morrison teaches better than anyone what matters in Building Performance Simulation.</i></p><p>Helsen Lieve, KU Leuven, Belgium</p><p><i>Did you ever wonder what the strengths and limitations of the models in building performance simulators are? This book explains in a rigorous and approachable way the major models for building performance simulation. As building operation becomes more dynamic to facilitate renewable integration, and their energy system architectures evolve to improve grid-responsive operation, the information added in this 2nd edition about HVAC and controls is of increased importance to train simulation users. This is recommended reading for anyone who needs to be competent in building performance simulations.</i></p><p>Michael Wetter, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA</p><p><i>This book, an extensive update on the first edition, addresses a core requirement of building performance simulation (BPS): the training of students and practitioners in BPS tool application. It offers a coherent approach to the task by blending theory and application, in the latter case via tool-agnostic simulation exercises that correspond to teaching and learning materials developed and tested by the author. Given the extensive range of issues confronting the clean energy transition, and the role that modelling and simulation can play, this is a timely and vital contribution.</i></p><p>Joseph Andrew Clarke, University of Strathclyde, UK</p><p><i>An essential resource for mastering Building Performance Simulation, this comprehensive guide offers a clear, tool-agnostic approach to understanding the fundamentals. Through a unique blend of theory, hands-on exercises, and real-world trials, it equips readers with the skills to navigate complex heat, mass transfer, and HVAC systems modeling. Perfect for students and professionals alike, the book deepens both foundational knowledge and practical application in this ever-evolving field.</i></p><p>Jan Hensen, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands</p><p><i>Following the success its first edition, I’m pleased to see the completion of the second edition of this excellent text by a leading authority in the field. Professor Beausoleil-Morrison’s refreshing style offers clarity and contemporary advice throughout, making it an invaluable resource for junior practicing engineers and students of building physics and architectural engineering. The second edition includes essential information on HVAC control and representation, as well as new simulation exercises, ensuring the book remains highly relevant to its users.</i></p><p>Malcolm Cook, Loughborough University, UK</p><p><i>The first edition was already one of the best guides for anyone looking to teach building performance simulation – a ready-to-teach textbook for instructors. Expanding with new simulation exercises, readings, and the culminating trials from one simple case to three, Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation second edition ensures anyone using this as a textbook will understand building performance simulation thoroughly.</i></p><p>Drury B. Crawley, Bentley Systems, Inc., USA</p><p><i>It is great to see the second edition of this book published. Prof. Beausoleil-Morrison has updated and expanded all the chapters to make them more suitable for course teaching and students' self-study. More and more students are now looking forward to learning how to use BPS tools to help them design zero-carbon or low-carbon buildings. This second edition especially expands the simulation of HVAC systems and is very suitable for HVAC students and practitioners to study. I will be very happy to recommend this book to teachers and students of HVAC major in China as a reference book for BPS related courses.</i></p><p>Yingxin Zhu, Tsinghua University, China</p>
Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation, Second Edition pares the theory and practice of a multi-disciplinary field to the essentials for classroom learning and real-world applications. Authored by a veteran educator and researcher, this textbook equips students and emerging and established professionals in engineering and architecture to predict and optimize building energy use. It employs an innovative pedagogical approach, introducing new concepts and skills through previously mastered ones and deepening understanding of familiar themes by means of new material.
Covering topics from indoor airflow to the effects of the weather to HVAC systems, the book’s 25 chapters empower learners to:
- Understand the models and assumptions underlying BPS tools
- Compare models, simulations, and modelling tools and make appropriate selections
- Recognize the effects of modelling choices and input data on simulation predictions
Each subject is introduced without reference to particular simulation tools, while practice problems at the end of each chapter provide hands-on experience with the tools of the reader’s choice. Curated reading lists orient beginners in a vast, cross-disciplinary literature, and the critical thinking skills stressed throughout prepare them to make contributions of their own.
Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation, Second Edition provides a much-needed resource for new and aspiring members of the building science community.
The textbook will be accompanied by student and instructor digital resources including chapter introduction videos by the author, software and simulation walkthrough videos, weather data, photographs, drawings and measured data to support the culminating trials.
Fundamentals of Building Performance Simulation, 2nd Edition compares the theory and practice of a multi-disciplinary field to the essentials for classroom learning and real-world applications. This textbook equips students and professionals in engineering and architecture to predict and optimize buildings’ energy use.
