CLIMA is organizing a student modelling competition
As part of the BS2023, IBPSA is organizing a student modelling competition. The aim is to facilitate wider participation in the conference and to provide a competitive forum for student members of the building simulation community. It is expected that this competition shall be embedded with the curriculum as part of the teaching material.
This year’s competition program aims to design and optimize a nearly net zero carbon emission building by computer simulation. Participating teams are encouraged to use active measures (such as photovoltaic, battery storage, charging pile or ice storage) and passive measures (such as fluctuating room temperature, thermal storage in walls, controllable lighting and other demand side management) for carbon reduction in the operation phase
Experimenting with the idea of thermaldynamic architecture
The building for analysis is the Student Activity Center of Tongji University, located in Jiading Campus, Shanghai. It synthesizes multiple functional spaces within a promenade circulation. Experimenting with the idea of thermaldynamic architecture, it also provides an opportunity for natural ventilation by linking different prototype units. Precast concrete offers fast, low-carbon yet high-quality construction. To simplify the problem, only the tower part is considered.
- Detailed floorplans are available in the DWG file attached, which must be followed exactly and rooms may not be rearranged
- Typical year weather data is provided in the ZIP file
- Dynamic carbon emission factor can be found in the competition brief
Competition timeline
Enrollment Criteria
- There can be individual or group (<4 members) submissions. Entrants are expected to notify their interest before February 1st, 2023, by email to student@bs2023.org.
- All entrants must be enrolled as students (PhD, MSc, BSc or equivalent) at the time of submission.
- Entrants must attache the following documents as a proof of their ‘student’ status:
- A bonafide letter on the university/institute letterhead from the supervisor or faculty-in-charge
- Photocopy of the student ID provided by the university/institute
Prize Distributions
- Two finalists will be invited to present their work at BS2023
- Each team will be awarded a reimbursement up to $2000 for travel expenses, and conference registration waivers for all team members. Based on the conference presentation and the poster, an overall winner will be selected and announced at the conference.
Team Share
- Teamwork is always encouraged. You may post/find a team recruitment on miro (← click this invitation link and get started). We are all here sharing ideas and exchanging information. Feel free to contact us at student@bs2023.org with any questions.
ERRATUM
- Competition_brief.pdf, first table of Appendix B, the third column should be the Thermal Transmittance Coefficient (W/m2·K), not the Conductivity (W/m·K)
- Competition_brief.pdf, Appendix D, office internal gains, the “Heat gains due to equipment” should be 20 (W/m2) instead of 200.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
