Isabel Janowsky

Isabel Janowsky is a Researcher at the Institute for Acoustics and Building Physics at the University of Stuttgart. She holds an M.Sc. degree and is involved in teaching and research activities related to building physics and indoor climate. Her research focuses on healthy and energy-efficient design of sports facilities, aerosol testing methods for air pollution control against SARS-CoV-2, and the ecological potentials of timber construction.

Teaching:

• Bauphysik (Building Physics) – since Summer Semester 2020
• Licht und Raumklima (Light and Indoor Climate) – since Winter Semester 2018/2019
• Virtuelle und experimentelle Bauphysik (Virtual and Experimental Building Physics) – Summer Semester 2019

Research Interests: Isabel’s work integrates building physics principles with sustainable design practices. She explores how indoor environmental parameters (e.g., acoustics, thermal comfort) affect human performance and well-being, particularly in sports facilities and home office settings. Her recent studies also address the efficacy of air purification technologies against viral aerosols.

Supervised Theses (2021):

• Analysis of building physics challenges in home offices
• Impact of visual/acoustic environments on comfort and performance
• Hygrothermal properties of monomaterial wooden facades
• Energy balancing of sports facilities
• Indoor environment interactions on human use

Location: Pfaffenwaldring 7, Room V7 2.007, Stuttgart, Germany.
