Introducing ORNL's Building Science Advisor (BSA)

The Building Science Advisor (BSA) is a rule-based expert system web-based tool developed to assist building professionals in designing energy efficient and durable residential wall systems for new or retrofit construction.  When examining new construction and based on location, the BSA will assess the proposed design.  For proposed retrofits, the BSA provides recommendations on how to address the retrofit in a manner that will not create a durability problem.   The capabilities of the BSA will be demonstrated.  Your feedback and guidance are sought on how to improve the tool and what additional features are needed to make this tool useful for your everyday activities.    Check out this BSA link:  https://bsa-new.ornl.gov
