We are excited to announce that IBPSA Singapore recently held its first Technical Committee meeting on October 9, 2024. This get-together marked the beginning of a new initiative to bring together professionals, researchers, and government agencies in the building performance simulation community in Singapore.

As part of the IBPSA Singapore Chapter, the Technical Committee aims to foster a vibrant exchange of ideas and innovations in building simulation. Recognizing the expertise and strong networks of our committee members, the meeting set the stage for future collaboration, with members supporting one another to organize seminars and webinars that will benefit the IBPSA community.

The committee also invited IBPSA Fellow, Prof. Lam Khee Poh to share IBPSA World background and formation. He was recently invited to Building Simulation 2023 Conference as keynote speaker. Through his sharing, we came to know that IBPSA World was formed at about the same time of Total Building Performance & Diagnostic (TBPD) concept was conceived in 1986. See Figure Below.

To all our members and the wider community, stay tuned for updates on upcoming seminars and events led by our newly formed Technical Committee. These initiatives are part of IBPSA Singapore’s ongoing commitment to advancing the field of building performance simulation and fostering professional growth and collaboration across the industry.

Thank you to our Professional Committee members for their dedication and expertise. We look forward to many productive sessions ahead!
