The Faculty of Architectural Engineering at Beirut Arab University- Tripoli branch organised a scientific workshop under the title of “Building Energy Modelling and Monitoring”. The workshop was held from the 29th of November until the 1st of December, 2014.
The workshop which was divided into three main activities each day, included 23 participants from various educational and professional backgrounds, and was oriented to providing the guidance for the appropriate application of Building Performance Simulation (BPS), promote good practice and to offer reference material to support practicing environmental engineers and architects. It dealt with the basics of using simulation tools with an emphasis on application and case studies. The workshop also emphasizes on the importance of simulation validation, in particular building performance monitoring. The workshop included an experiential half-day intricacies and joys of evaluating environmental performance aspects of buildings. Using cutting-edge microprocessor based data loggers and handheld instruments on site.
