Dr Daniel Fosas de Pando

My research focuses on creating desirable indoor environments while minimising energy use and carbon footprint under the constraints of climate change. Areas of interest include net zero builds and retrofits at scale, indoor air quality, and the blend of monitoring and modelling techniques to enhance decision-making for building design, retrofit, and operation.
