We thank all reviewers for your objective, insightful evaluations. Your contribution is acknowledged on the committee page, as well as a certificate that can be retrieved by your ConfTool account email down below.

Building Simulation Conference uses a double-blinded peer review process to ensure a high-quality academic discussion. Reviewers are expected to provide reviews in a timely, collegial, and constructive manner, to BS2023 chairs/editors about the merits of submissions in terms of quality and contribution to the field of building simulation.

In future editions, you are welcome to help on our Scientific Committee, with the review process of abstracts/papers/reports. Your ability to be objective, fair, and insightful in the evaluation of manuscripts is most in-demand to shape Building Simulation in its best form. We need your help to get more papers out of the field to share good practices and ideas.

If you are interested in reviewing for our next BS event, please read through the following terms and fill in the application form below. You will then be added to our reviewer database, and we will contact you when next event comes.

APPLICATION FORM

I am pleased to join the Building Simulation 2023 team of reviewers. I attest that I will respect the following conditions:

  • I should not accept to review a manuscript if there exists a personal or financial conflict of interest, or I feel unable to give an impartial and objective review free from professional or personal bias.
  • If there is a potential conflict of interest, I have to contact the session-chair/secretariat for their decision on whether it is appropriate to review the manuscript.
  • If encountered with unforeseen circumstances that forbid me to complete the review within the allotted time, I must contact the session-chair/secretariat immediately so that rearrangements can be made in a timely fashion.
  • I agree to share my personal information ONLY within the review process of BS2023. I understand that the organizing committee will not share the reviewer database with any third-party.
