Samiksha Bhardwaj, Swetha R, Vasudev Pandya, and Ar. Vishal Y. (all FT PG '24) - have won the prestigious Student Modelling Competition 2025 organised by the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). The event was part of the 19th Building Simulation Conference 2025 (BS2025), held in Brisbane, Australia, from August 24–27, 2025. This year’s competition drew participation from approximately 40 teams worldwide. This is the third consecutive time the CEPT team has reached the finals, and for the second time in a row, the team has emerged as winners — reaffirming the relevance and strength of applied learning in the field of building simulation and energy performance. The team was mentored by CEPT faculty members Prof. Rajan Rawal, Prof. Minu Agarwal, PhD, Ms. Siddhi Vashi (Research Associate, Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Energy (CARBSE)), and Malay Dave, PhD of Steensen Varming, Sydney. The competition required students to focus on energy performance analysis and retrofit strategies for the Bundanon Art Museum and Bridge in New South Wales, Australia.
