Dr. Anir Upadhyay is a Lecturer at the University of New South Wales within the School of Built Environment, Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture. His research focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency in the built environment, with expertise in climate-responsive design, energy monitoring, and post-occupancy evaluation of residential buildings.
His educational background includes a PhD in Sustainable Design from the University of Sydney, a Master of Science in Urban Planning, and a Bachelor of Architecture.
- PhD in Sustainable Design (University of Sydney)
- MSc in Urban Planning
- Bachelor of Architecture
Dr. Upadhyay's research explores fundamental issues of sustainable built environment at both design and post-occupancy stages, using simple design tools and big data analysis. He developed the Environmental Quality of Life framework to evaluate neighborhood sustainability by combining perceived satisfaction with objective environmental quality. His current projects include validating and improving the BASIX energy assessment tool for low-carbon dwellings in NSW.
His publication record shows consistent research in sustainable building design with a focus on energy efficiency, climate responsiveness, and occupant behavior. His work spans from theoretical frameworks to practical applications in residential building design and evaluation.
Notable awards include the Smart City Award from Committee for Sydney (2019) and multiple travel scholarships for international research conferences.
- Smart City Award for best data initiative (2019)
- Travel scholarship for U21 Early Career Researcher Workshop (2018)
- HJ Cowan Architectural Science Scholarship (2011)
- Australian Post Graduate Award - Industry (2009-2013)
Dr. Upadhyay has secured significant research funding, including grants from the CRC for Low Carbon Living, UNSW Built Environment, and ACT Environmental Planning. He has received multiple Early Career Researcher grants and infrastructure funding. As an educator, he teaches postgraduate courses in Building Ecology and Energy in the Built Environment, and undergraduate courses in Building Environment.
He is a co-inventor of the ysense wireless environmental sensor and Enviro-energy dashboard, which provide real-time monitoring of energy consumption and indoor environmental quality.
