HackSimBuild ‘24 is a 24-hour hackathon where participants (you) develop and test creative new approaches to building performance simulation. This event will bring together modelers, programmers, students, academics, designers, and engineers of all types to collaborate in a design sprint. At the end of this fun and immersive event, we will award prizes to the teams with the most original, innovative, and market-ready tools, metrics, ideas, or other hacks they present to our industry-leading panel of jurors.
HackSimBuild will take place on May 19-20, 2024, immediately before SimBuild 2024. Participants will present their work to SimBuild attendees and a panel of judges during SimBuild 2024.
The program will kick-off with an opportunity for the participants to share quick introductions about their background and interests. This will be followed by a half-hour-long team-forming session to allow participants (in-person and online) to pitch their hacking ideas and join teams to collaborate on a common goal for their HackSimBuild project.
We encourage teams that integrate students, building analysts, designers, architects, engineers, programmers, and other participants. Registrants may form teams in advance or at the event. Teams may include up to 6 people. Teams will have 24 hours to address a building performance simulation challenge of their choosing.
The teams may use any software or a combination of software to complete their projects. Open-source projects are highly encouraged!
