SIMPLE Simulation

       [SIM]ulating
for peo[PLE]

Thanks for your interest in SIMPLE, a simulation tool aiming to satisfy the present needs of Building Performance Simulation. Long story short, SIMPLE aims to:

1. Allow for a holistic building performance simulation using best-practice algorithms for each domain
2. Make it easier to account for the complex interactions between Humans and Buildings
3. Make it possible to implement complex algorithms, such as Model Predictive Control.
4. Be deployable in multiple environments, including Windows, Linux and Mac, the cloud, the browser (i.e., WebAssembly)
5. Use modern languages, toolset, and aim for clarity of source code (I do my best...)

You can read more about this in the "Do we need SIMPLE?" section of the docs

Examples

Runs everywhere

Check THIS LINK to see SIMPLE running on your browser. No servers involved.

Holistic simulation

Here is an example of Holistic simulations. Check these images, showcasing how SIMPLE can perform lighting and thermal simulation.

Documentation

I am hoping that the first people who get here are those niche humans who nerd about buulding simulation, coding, and more. If you are one of them, please help me write tutorials and docs and all that. People who do Buildings do not often do programming.

Also, feel free to CHECK THE DOCS

License

The official legal document is the MIT license. I chose it because SIMPLE aims to make the world better and I want to encourage use.

Code of conduct

Say please and thank you and respect the rules of thermodynamics.
