BIOGRAPHY

Stefano Schiavon is professor of architecture and civil and environmental engineering at UC Berkeley, and associate director of the Center for Environmental Design & Research. He is chair of CED's MS and PhD in Building Science, Technology and Sustainability programs. Schiavon's research is focused on finding ways to reduce energy consumption in buildings while improving occupant health, well-being and performance. Schiavon has researched sustainable architecture, air conditioning and occupant satisfaction. He has experience in laboratory measurements, post-occupancy evaluation, and building performance simulation. He has published more than 120 peer-reviewed journal papers and 80 conference papers, and has a Google citation rate above 13,000 and H-index above 55. Schiavon received the 2010 REHVA Young Scientist Award and the 2013 ASHRAE Ralph Nevins Physiology and Human Environment Award. He has won four best papers awards from Building and Environment Journal. A global recognized leader in the thermal comfort and building science fields, Schiavon’s research has been featured in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Forbes, Vox, The Atlantic, USA Today, Newsweek, The Associated Press, The Boston Globe, The Straits Times, La Repubblica, Architectural Record, and ArchDaily.
