The CIBSE Building Simulation Group is inviting entries for its postgraduate prize.
The award, sponsored by Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES), is open to UK and overseas postgraduate students undertaking a Master’s – or equivalent level – research project involving the application of building simulation tools.
The qualifying research areas, with modelling as the main focus, cover: building physics; compliance and performance; dynamic thermal modelling; optimisation methods for building simulation; indoor environment; computational fluid dynamics; HVAC systems; building renewable energy systems; daylighting and artificial lighting; fire simulation and building acoustics.
The winner will receive £1,000 and a 12-month unlimited laptop licence for the IES VE-Pro software suite, plus a place on one of IES’ public three-day training courses, worth more than £7,000. There are also two runner-up prizes of £250 each.
