The following goals were identified at the inception of IBPSA-China in November 2005, which are consistent with the mission statement and objectives of the IBPSA Charter:

• Work actively with IBPSA to promote collaborations and development in building simulation between China and foreign countries;
• Identify problems within the built environment in China that may be solved by improved simulation tools and techniques;
• Identify the performance characteristics of buildings in China on which simulation should be focused;
• Identify building performance simulation research and development needs and transfer new developments to the user in the China building industry;
• Promote standardization of the building simulation industry in China;
• Inform and educate its members and the public regarding the value and the state-of-the-art of building performance simulation in China.
