Abstract

This paper explores the novel building performance simulation domain of pest modelling. Despite extensive knowledge on pest management in agriculture, pest behaviour and their impact in epidemiology, building science currently has no computational formulas, algorithms or simulation tools to quantify the vulnerability of the built environment in relation to pests. Therefore, it is not possible for planners and the many other different stakeholders involved in the construction industry to project scenarios to study future operation of buildings in relation to pest prevention and control. A comprehensive literature review is presented to provide a high level outline of this new area in building performance simulation. Findings are used to discuss transferability of different types of pest models and approaches from other areas to the built environment, pointing out avenues for future research.
