TY - JOUR T1 - Building simulation: an overview of development and information sources JF - Building and Environment Y1 - 2000 A1 - Tianzhen Hong A1 - Siaw K. Chou A1 - T.Y. Bong KW - building simulation AB -

We review the state-of-the-art on the development and application of computer-aided building simulation by addressing some crucial questions in the field. Although the answers are not intended to be comprehensive, they are sufficiently varied to provide an overview ranging from the historical and technical development to choosing a suitable simulation program and performing building simulation. Popular icons of major interested agencies and simulation tools and key information sources are highlighted. Future trends in the design and operation of energy-efficient ‘green' buildings are briefly described.
