Holly Samuelson is a building scientist, architect and educator whose work examines how building design affects health and carbon emissions. Before joining MIT, she practiced architecture, advised the building industry and taught at Harvard University.

Join us at the 6th Asian Conference of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (ASim2026), taking place from November 16-18, 2026 at the SDE3 building, a retrofitted building that is part of the National University of Singapore’s first building cluster targeting net-zero. Following the success of ASim2024 in Osaka, Japan, we are excited to bring this biennial ASim conference to the vibrant, sunny city of Singapore.

ASim2026 invites submissions across three formats: Full Papers, Short Papers, and Posters. We welcome students, academics, and industry practitioners from around the world to contribute, exchange ideas, and collaborate in shaping the future of a smart and sustainable built environment. Visit our call for Abstracts and Papers page to submit your contributions and be part of our international community.
