| contents | Building Performance Simulation (BPS) uses advanced computational and data science methods. Reproducibility, the ability to obtain the same results by using the same data and methods, is essential in BPS research to ensure the reliability and validity of scientific results. The benefits of reproducible research include enhanced scientific integrity, faster scientific advancements, and valuable educational resources. Despite its importance, reproducibility in BPS is often overlooked due to technical complexities, insufficient documentation, and cultural barriers such as the lack of incentives for sharing code and data. This paper encourages the reproducibility of articles on computational science and proposes to recognize reproductible code and data, with persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), as peer-reviewed archival publications. Practical workflows for achieving reproducibility in BPS are presented for the use of MATLAB and Python. |
