The goal of this Special Issue is to call for contributions that research opportunities in building energy saving and efficiency improvement by adopting various simulation techniques, including either analytical, empirical, or numerical models. I cordially invite authors to submit papers for consideration and publication in the Special Issue, “Study on Building Energy Efficiency Related to Simulation Models”.

Congratulations!!!, Our team member Manal Anis (3rd yr Ph.D. degree) received the 2022 William Henry Meyer Scholarship from ISoA
Dr. Yun Kyu Yi received award from college for his excellence in research.
Dr. Yun Kyu Yi visit Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Washington University, St. Louis, for Graduate Architecture Degree Project Technical Workshops.
As the iCAP 2020 says, “Using information gathered from capital projects, faculty members and researchers can collaborate with F&S to develop a reference database of calibrated energy models for campus buildings. This might be the product of student classroom projects. The campus could then use these models to prioritize building retrofits and determine the preferred level of improvements (i.e., envelope versus mechanicals) for each building.” (Page 41).
There are energy models provided to Facilities & Services during the regular Capital Programs process, and there are students and researchers who work with energy models and create energy models. In 2021, the Energy iCAP Team recommended that F&S and Professor Yun Yi in the School of Architecture work together to create additional energy models for campus buildings.

Dr. Yun Kyu Yi and his team at RAL (Responsive Architecture Lab) collaborated with CEBD (Center for Environmental Building and Design) at the University of Pennsylvania, and UrbSys Lab at the University of Florida received a fund from the Daikin Open Innovation Lab Silicon Valley to research on Advanced Building Thermal Modeling. Project use machine learning and other inverse modeling technic to develop building energy model from Ecobee smart thermostat dataset.
