Session Abstract
Is being a prompt architect/engineer an inevitable future for Building Performance Simulation (BPS) experts? Is our community inclined to resist AI to an extent in order to insure that basic scientific principles of building performance are not lost in Large Language Models (LLM) translations? Or will we decide that modelers should also be prompters that will employ AI to make simulations faster, more efficient, and ultimately more accessible to the vast majority of built environment practitioners and researchers?
We invite you to be a participant in this debate as the judging party, with two affirmative and two opposing debaters for the resolution: AI in BPS will make modelers embrace a future of prompting.
