1	Case Study: CBT Architects - Building Performance Modeling	CBT Architects present how they are integrating IES building performance analysis into their design process using the Fitchburg State Science Project as an example for this Case Study. This an interesting insight into how this architectural firm is going about incorporating early stage analysis into their processes, BIM and working in a more integrated manner with the engineer. The presentation is based on one given to a group from the Harvard Business School's facilities and construction department.
