Digitalization is a major force propelling today’s world forward. Modeling and digital services are enabling and transforming buildings into smart, efficient, sustainable, safe, and comfortable environments. In this webinar, two local experts have been invited to share their leading efforts and viewpoints about the application of CFD simulations and digitalization service towards high performance building design. Mr. Ken PO, Head for CFD team from Building System and Diagnostics Pte Ltd, will demonstrate how CFD is effectively used as “value-add” engineering tool to improve the design of complex mechanical ventilation system. Mr. DongKyun KIM, Technical Director of DLABs Pte Ltd, will then present and share their “AI-assistant Platform” for supporting automatic design interactive processes to meet various design requirement during the concept/ schematic design stage.

Since the beginning of 2020, our daily life has been severely affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. With evidence suggesting that airborne transmission may play a larger role in the spread of COVID-19 and increasing number of publications pointing to its impacts on building energy efficiencies, a webinar on the topic might be timely.
In this seminar, Dr. KANG Chang Wei from IHPC, A*STAR and Dr. Zuraimi SULTAN from BEARS are cordially invited by IBPSA Singapore to share their recent research activities related to the pandemic. Dr. KANG will first present their R&D efforts in Assessment of Environment Transmission Risk and Future Resilience. After that, Dr. Zuraimi will elucidate Energy impact of building recommendations to reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission in Singapore. Building practitioners, policy makers, ESD consultants, architects and planners, as well as researchers and students who are interested in relevant topics, are all welcomed to participate in this seminar.

IBPSA-Singapore is the Co-Host of the 4th International Conference on Eco Engineering Development (ICEED) 2020, on 10-11 November 2020, organised by Binus University, Jakarta.
As IBPSA-Singapore members, you are entitled to attend the one day webinar (FREE), with details as follows:
Event Time:Tuesday, 10 November 2020 / 9am – 5pm (SG Time) or 8am – 4pm (Jakarta Time)
Venue: Online Seminar (to be sent few days before the event date)
In this conference, Dr Kang Chang Wei, Deputy Director of Fluid Dynamics department of IHPC, A*Star will be one of the keynote speakers, with the abstract of his talk is shown below:
Title: Dispersion of Evaporating Cough Droplets in Tropical Environment
Abstract:
During a respiratory event, in this case, a cough, virus laden droplets and aerosols are expelled from an infected person’s mouth. Respiratory droplets/aerosols’ dynamical behaviour shows the competing effects between drag, inertia, gravity and evaporation. The droplet in-flight characteristics and final destination are affected by a range of factors and interdependent interaction between them. It includes complex flow phenomena, from turbulent jets, flow-induced droplets/aerosols dispersion and sedimentation, to droplet evaporation and deposition. Modelling and simulation-based fundamental thermo-fluid physics could provide accurate insight and visualise the droplets/aerosols dynamics and spread process. A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC)’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) framework includes but not limited to expulsion force of fluid volume, droplet/aerosol size distribution, evaporation of water from the droplet (temperature and humidity dependent), and viral load in the droplet. Utilising this computational framework, quantifying droplets falling on human subjects will be assessed. It allows risk-based analysis across different configurations and scenarios. The fundamental knowledge of the underlying physics, together with use cases will be shared in this talk.

IBPSA-Singapore is collaborating a webinar event with CoolestSG on Cooling Energy Modelling of Smart Buildings – Opportunities and Challenges.
Event Time:6 November, 2020 at 2.00pm – 4:00pm,
Venue: Online Seminar (to be sent few days before the event date)
PEB – PDU Points: 2 CPD Points
SGBC-GMAP CPD Points: 6 CPD Points
Brief Info:
In this joint webinar by CoolestSG (Cooling Energy Science and Technology Singapore) and IBPSA (International Building Performance Simulation Association), opportunities and challenges with energy modelling of smart buildings will be discussed. In the first part Dr Adrian Chong will introduce two open source R packages ‘eplusr’ and ‘epwshiftr’ to enable climate change research and data driven analytics using EnergyPlus. The objectives are to provide better and more seamless integration between EnergyPlus simulation engine, data- driven analytics, and climate change projections; and take advantage of the abundant statistical and data analytics packages on R. In the second part, Prof SK Chou will speak on building envelope performance modelling. The building envelope is the first level of defence against heat transmission into the air-conditioned space, and, to be certified energy efficient, a building will need to have its envelope meet the minimum thermal performance standard. Recent development to enhance the envelope performance criteria will be discussed.
The IBPSA-Singapore Chapter is holding a Seminar, with the title: “Towards an Enhanced Thermal Comfort and Sustainable School Environment”.
Event Time:18 September, 2020 at 2.00pm – 4:30pm,
Venue: Online Seminar (to be sent few days before the event date)

Funded by Singapore Sustainable Blueprint (SSB) Programme, a R&D project entitled “Computer Assisted CFD Simulation to Promote Positive Energy School (PES) Project in Singapore” has been carried out by research team from IHPC and collaborators from BCA, since Dec 2017. This R&D project is well aligned with the PES campaign advocated by BCA recently.
In this seminar, Mr. Selvam VILLIAPAN from BERII of BCA, who is the key officer in charge of PES project, will be invited to give an overview of the PES Project and progress achieved so far. After that, Dr. GE Zhengwei and Dr. OOI Chin Chun from IHPC, ASTAR, who are the leading scientists for the SSB-funded project, will present their major CFD efforts and findings throughout their 3-year study. This seminar is targeted at all participants from building practitioners, policy makers, ESD consultants, architects and planners, as well as researchers and students who are interested in relevant topics.
