Improving Existing Building Performance through Building Simulation

Most involved with building simulation will know that, as an industry, we are very good at designing new buildings which are planet friendly. However, given 80% of the 2050 building stock is already standing, the challenge and opportunity now lies in understanding how to reduce the impact of our existing built environment.

To reach net-zero, rethinking what we do with existing buildings is a non-negotiable, and project teams need access to the right tools and data insights to rise to the challenge. In this session, join IES, the global leaders in building performance analysis, as we walk through how to improve existing building performance using cutting edge IES technology, methodologies and real operational data.
