Façade resilience study wins Building Simulation Award

The awards celebrate innovation and excellence in sustainable building design.

Zahra Jahed Bozorgan, from the University of Bologna, has won the CIBSE Building Simulation Award 2025 for her project ‘Assessing thermal resilience of residential façade typologies under climate change using the façade Resilience Index’.

Her research offers vital insights into adapting buildings for future climate resilience.

The Young Modeller Award went to Soumya Uttam, from Scotch Partners, for her outstanding contribution as an emerging talent in building simulation.

The CIBSE Building Simulation Awards 2025, organised by the CIBSE Building Simulation Group, celebrate innovation and excellence in sustainable building design.
