The computer chess game is one of the most basic simulation examples. The current chess engines have been able to defeat the strongest human players. What happens if similar simulations could defeat our engineering problems in the same way? This article will present the importance of simulation in the creation of performance optimization in the digital age and how its effectiveness has changed academically and industrial over time, from the vision of an engineering apprentice. A practice of the simulation tool is introduced into a student project and its apparent educational values ​​will be promoted, as well as the future development of simulation as a useful tool for advanced energy solutions.

Simulation in the multidisciplinary optimization of the performance of the building.

The simulation is basically the imitation of a situation or process. Nowadays, the simulation probably refers to the computational models of processes of several sectors, from the mechanics of fluids to socioeconomy. The performance of construction with computers involved was introduced in the 1970s, which has brought practitioners with amenities and challenges. Instead of driving an idea in the first place, a significant amount of money and time could be saved through the initial simulation. Simulation of construction performance (BPS), theoretically, has to collect information from many sources; Likewise, the range of disciplines in what is processed is extensive. The result of a simulation, or the physical condition representative of a building, is so prone to a high level of uncertainty. Even so, over time, the ability to manipulate the set of environmental and intrinsic parameters has been developed and improved continuously, which makes BPS a remarkable support to predict, evaluate and verify the performance of construction.
