This paper reviews methods and tools for coupled building physics analyses in the context of Building Performance Simulations (BPS) with a focus on Building Energy Simulations (BES) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a common application. Furthermore, requirements regarding the necessary information for simulations, data models and coupling are identified. Possibilities of automated simulation model generation, data exchange and the performance of existing multi physics simulation models are analysed and limiting factors are discussed.
