Simulation
A Practical Guide to Building Thermal Modelling (BG48/2013) was published by BSRIA in 2013. It was written by Richard Tudor of WSP, with input from industry representatives. It defines simulation as: ‘Calculation of the behaviour of a building over a continuous period as performed by the simulation software.’
