AI Eats Building-Performance Simulation for Breakfast-part(2/2)
Description
These days, you can use software like Revit MEP software, Dynamo, Python, Forge, and Insight360 to create highly detailed analytical simulation models as the basis for high-quality MEP planning. Frequently, however, the simulation results and operation profiles aren’t transferred to building operation, which leads to a significant performance gap. This industry talk will provide insight into the evolution of building performance simulations for practical use and as a basis for training AI-based HVAC controllers using pattern recognition—which will revolutionize the way building engineering is planned—in BIM2Field (building automation and building performance simulation) and in BIM2FM, using digital twins and linked IoT (Internet of Things).
Key Learnings
- Further develop visions for the long-term orientation of business models, including IoT, ML, AI, and simulations
- Learn how to design strategies to implement new processes for the integration of building performance simulations into everyday work
- Discover concrete measures to improve existing processes and methods of energy analysis in HVAC engineering
- Learn how to formulate skills and requirements for future employees to develop or build a specialist team in your company
Speakers
Manuel Frey is a digital leader and pioneer of BIM/VDC within the European HVAC Industry. He brings 18 years of experience and a passion for model-based planning and performance simulations to his current roles as head of the Digital Engineering & Simulations Department at the Gruner Group, President of the Swiss Chapter of The International Building Performance Simulation Association IBPSA CH, and co-lead of the BIM2FM working group of buildingSMART Switzerland. Manuel and his team of specialists are at the forefront of model-based planning workflow, digital strategy, change management, and process optimization. He shares his knowledge with students as a lecturer at ETH Zurich, UAS Luzern, UAS NW Switzerland, Man and Machine – BIM Management Program, and at his alma mater, UAS Biberach. Manuel continues to present his published works based on applied research of best practice experience in building performance simulation and HVAC engineering at leading energy efficiency conferences.
