Stefano Schiavon, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Architecture/ Sustainability, Energy and Environment at UC Berkeley. Stefano is focusing on indoor environmental quality parameters and building features that affect occupant productivity and building energy consumption. Other research interests include personal environmental control systems, underfloor air distribution (UFAD), radiant systems, building energy simulation, air movement, thermal comfort and statistical modeling.
At the University of Padova, Italy, he received a Ph.D. in Energy in 2008, and a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2005. He has been a visiting scholar at both Tsinghua University, China, and at the International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy at the Technical University of Denmark. He has been an Assistant Professor at Polytechnic University of Turin. His Ph.D. focused on energy consumption of personalized ventilation and elevated air movement for thermal comfort and energy savings. He received the REHVA Young Scientist Award in 2010 and the Best Poster Presentation at the International AIVC Conference in 2008. He is active in technical and standards committees of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers).
