My name is su dong yang. I'm a professor and deputy director in the department building science and that my University in China. The building simulation journal is the first international journal dedicated to publishing peer-review high-quality papers in the field of modeling and simulation of building performances. It was originally established in 2008. Within a short time the journal has quickly become an important reference. In the building research field the journal is managed by an editing chief three associate editors three or seasoned editors and 42 editorial board members who are the top experts all over the world the journal is jointly published by Springer and Ching hai University Press. The journal also has been included in the most popular databases such as the science Citation Index sei and the inland engineering index. The eye and the scoopers. The building of simulation is a fast developing field but there's no dedicated journal in the field before we establish this journal so we think it's a very important field but there's an information lacking here so we try to make a bridge to connect between the researchers and practitioners the building simulation journal published papers in five six columns column a is focused on simulation of building energy consumption lighting acoustics so it's more focused on the using fabrics and a passive system column. B is on the simulation of building systems and components including heating ventilating air conditioning systems energy providing systems and the terminal unit column. C is on simulation of air flow air pollutant transport and air quality in and around buildings. : t is a simulation of human behavior and how occupants interact with building systems. It also covers the topic of sustainability column. G is on the new advances of modeling and simulation tools. Each column is managed by a dedicated editor. First of all. The beauty of simulation journal uses a strict double blinded peer-review system only those papers has with the highest quality can be published here secondly the journal handles paper quickly for most cases the time from the first paper submission to the unlined publication it within six months thirdly the journal has quickly built up a reputation so that more and more researchers and practitioners come here to contribute and use the information published in the journal.

A lot of exciting advancements have occurred in the building automation field. For example new advanced simulation tools have been developed based on advanced platforms such as steam and ma delica secondly the human behavior and its impact on building energy consumption have been much better understood. Thirdly the accra modeling of building performances has gone beyond the traditional energy simulation to include the air pollution simulation and health simulation as the leading international journal in fact the building simulation if your position not simply follows the new advancement but we will actually promote and erect the new research in the field. The audience simulation is a few that involves tens of thousands of researchers and millions of practitioners as a leading academic journal we understand the importance of diversity and openness. We intend to serve every researcher and professional who is concerned using simulation the journal will stick to the three key principles that have been vital to the success of our journal highest quality fast publishing and diversity you.
