IIITH Researchers Win Patent For Method That Lets Users Exercise Power Over Preferences - IIIT-Hyderabad In a unique development, IIIT Hyderabad researchers have devised a patented method to integrate personalised controls such as fans, and table lamps for comfort and energy efficiency based on market mechanisms.

Prof. Mazharuddin Syed Ahmed, Technology Evangelist at Ara Institute of Canterbury, New Zeland, Took a session on Integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) & Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) in Architectural Curriculum. Very informative & useful talk for our Building Science students.

This talk will cover the BIM program which includes designing BIM resources portal using immersive learning, project-based collaborative learning, Virtual Reality/Augmented content delivered using Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Following topics will be covered:
1. Integrating BIM and Virtual Design and Construction in Architecture curriculum
2. Developing interactive and immersive e-Learning content (LMS Moodle) to teach
BIM and VDC using research-based and inquiry-based virtual learning environments
3. Developing formative and summative assessment for BIM & VDC course learning outcomes
4. Developing Mobile learning, VR, AR, and Mixed Reality BIM teaching and learning content

It is with deep sorrow we would like to inform you all about the sad demise of Prof. Narendra Kumar Bansal, Father of Energy Simulation in India, passed away today morning.

He was founder of knowledge stream in Building Energy Simulation in India and a big supporter of building energy efficiency, passive design and host of research areas.

He started simulation in his research group at IITD, way back in early 90s, when many were not even using computers.

He was exemplary teacher and superlative mentor.

He has been a true well wisher for all of his students and many of us are what we are because of him only.

He will be living with us through many books and articles that are widely referred, and more importantly, in our memories.

True tribute to him can be by propagating knowledge of building energy efficiency in India.

Congratulations Anam. Best wishes.
