Building Performance Simulation (BPS) in Teaching


This survey is initiated in the framework of the "Ständige Konferenz Bauphysik und Technischer Ausbau" of the university lecturers in German language institutions. It will be shared with all the lecturers at the German language applied universities.

The aim of this questionnaire is to find out how Building Performance Simulation (BPS) is taught at institutions teaching in German language to explore the reality and experiences on BPS in teaching.

The planned outcome is:

  1. to provide an internal information to all participants about the status and findings (internal report naming participants to allow direct contact). An example from a small survey from 2006 can be downloaded from here.

  2. A conference paper summarizing the findings in anonymous form as part of the common work of the "Konferenz Bauphysik und Technischer Ausbau". A comparable conference paper from 2017 can be downloaded from here.

This questionnaire is planned to be a part of a PhD study in the school of architecture that aims at developing an approach to performance based design in teaching.

For I am - as the author of this questionnaire - is not a native German, the questions are in English, but of course all text fields can be filled out in German.

Your cooperation and support are really appreciated.

For there is no return/change option in the questionnaire, the number of courses and the BPS software used in the courses should be entered carefully. To prevent any mistakes, we provide you an empty preview version of the questionnaire here. Please see it before starting the questionnaire.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karsten Voss.
