Alessandro Maccarini

Alessandro Maccarini is an Associate Professor at the Department of the Built Environment, part of Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science. He specializes in Building Technology, Management, and Indoor Environment, with a focus on Indoor Environmental Quality and Building Systems Research. His work integrates energy engineering, thermal systems, and sustainable building design.

Key research areas include thermal energy storage (e.g., aquifer systems), district heating/cooling networks, ventilation optimization, and energy-efficient building systems. He leads projects like the Geothermal-based Optimized Energy Systems (2022–2025) and the KOHESYS thermal energy system study. Collaborations include international initiatives like IEA ECES Annex 32.

Publications emphasize methodological frameworks for energy storage design, fault analysis in ventilation systems, and precision ventilation strategies in offices. He actively contributes to organizations like the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), advancing simulation tools and standards.

His research bridges technical innovation with practical applications, addressing challenges in energy efficiency, renewable integration, and occupant comfort in built environments.
