Abstract

This paper presents an effort toward integrating building physics and building performance simulation in architectural curricula. The main objective of this effort, which is undertaken within the framework of a project supported by the European Union (IMPAQT) is to initiate a paradigm shift toward a more integrative, peoplecentred, and technologically agile professional profile of young architects. The present contribution focuses on those curriculum features related to building technology and performance assessment. The building technology track is described in detail, along with its relationship to the curriculum's other thematic tracks. Specifically, we explain the structure and content of the building simulation course and its strategic position within the building performance track.
