Abstract	In recent years, there have been numerous initiatives regarding the incorporation of building performance simulation tools (BPSTs) in the field of architecture, but unfortunately they have not been considered in updates of the curricula of building designers' careers at a global level. This paper presents an example of the use of BPSTs in the decision making of architectural models, after confirming that there is a lack of knowledge regarding these programs in architecture classrooms. As a result, based on the literature review, improvement aspects and recommendations have been identified and consequences for future research have been foreseen. To this end, the growing trend in the use of these tools has been analyzed, both in terms of the impact on architectural design and their use by architects. The authors' perceptions led us to confirm that the disconnection between BPSTs and architectural students can easily be diminished and alleviated through the teaching-learning process. We also noted the importance of energy modelling in the initial stages of architectural design. In addition, a proposed format for the application of BPSTs to architectural design for architects is presented. (As Provided).
