Abstract: In the light of an extensive literature research and the Building Performance Simulation (BPS) in teaching survey, conducted among German universities, it is deduced that using BPS as a part of design process rather than an evaluation tool for existing designs is a prominent way to teach BPS, particularly in architectural education. New methods are needed to adopt BPS not only as a performance evaluator, but also as a design stimulator during design exploration. This paper shares teaching experiences gained through architectural design courses by comparing the additive and the design-integrated uses of BPS. Experiences gained through Architecture Master Courses Studio-Sustainable Building and Building Performance (S.NB) is a 2-semester-long master design course as part 1 and part 2 with a total of 12 credits. And the part 2 is directly addressing BPS. In this paper, the experiences gained at part 2 through two separate winter semesters are shared. Not to be repetitive, S.NB-2 in winter semester (WS) 2020/2021 is called Studio A, and S.NB-2 in WS 2021/2022 is called Studio B.
