SPECIALIZATIONS

Sustainable Building Design; Indoor Environment Quality; Mechanical Systems; Building Energy Efficiency; Thermal Comfort Wellbeing; Post-Occupancy Evaluation; Indoor Air Quality

EDUCATION
PhD Energy Engineering, University of Padova, Italy
MS Mechanical Engineering, University of Padova, Italy
BIOGRAPHY

Stefano Schiavon, PhD, is Associate Professor of Architecture and Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley and Associate Director of CEDR.

Stefano’s research is focused on finding ways to reduce energy consumption in buildings while improving occupant health, well-being and productivity. Stefano has researched sustainable architecture, air conditioning and occupant satisfaction. He has experience in laboratory measurements, post-occupancy evaluation, and building performance simulation. Stefano is involved in the Center for the Built Environment and the SinBerBEST project. He earned a PhD in Energy Engineering (2008) and an MS in Mechanical Engineering (2005) with honors from the University of Padova, Italy.  He received the 2010 REHVA Young Scientist Award and 2013 ASHRAE Ralph Nevins Physiology and Human Environment Award. He won 3 best papers awards in 2018 from the Journal Building and Environment.
