Germany, September 24, 2019
The digital transformation of the construction industry is well
underway - keyword "Building Information Modelling - BIM", its
goal being innovative system solutions for buildings. The new
seminar SimXp, organised by the Fraunhofer Institute for
Building Physics IBP and the simulation specialist ISimQ, will
demonstrate how to combine simulation and experimental methods
to this end.
Description:
The digital transformation of the building industry is underway
- keyword “Building Information Modelling – BIM”. The added
value of digital models extends far beyond the traditional
methods of building planning. The SimXp seminar on 24 and 25
September 2019 in Holzkirchen, Germany, will show how to
combine simulation and experimentation to benefit from
digitalisation successfully.
SimXp focusses on digital planning tools for optimising energy
efficiency and indoor climate. The seminar is organised by the
Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP and the
simulation specialists of ISimQ. Digitalisation and the
resulting information density are the prerequisites for life
cycle-oriented, integral building planning. Thanks to BIM,
interdisciplinary project teams will be able to link the
requirements from architecture, building physics, technical
building services, facility and energy management to an
unprecedented degree and develop comprehensive solutions based
on this information. Digitalisation is taking place across all
phases, from drafting to commissioning and operational
optimisation. Early simulations of the thermo-energetic
behaviour and computer-aided models for evaluating the
resulting comfort and user acceptance are the starting point
for innovative building system solutions. They form building
blocks of a digital building twin, i.e. a virtual building
image for planning and operation.
SimXp aims at engineers, project managers and executives
responsible for research and development, innovation management
and business development in the construction sector.
