Carlos Jimenez-Bescos

Carlos Jimenez-Bescos is an Associate Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Derby's College of Science and Engineering. His research specializes in sustainable building technologies with focus on passive ventilation systems, energy efficiency optimization, and climate-resilient architectural design.

Research areas include:

• Innovative passive cooling systems including windcatcher technologies
• Climate change impacts on building energy demands
• Vegetation-integrated thermal performance modeling
• Renewable energy integration in building systems

Publications demonstrate expertise in computational modeling of building performance, experimental validation of passive technologies, and climate adaptation strategies for urban environments. Collaborative research spans international partnerships examining sustainable solutions for diverse climatic conditions.

Methodological approaches combine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with empirical measurements to evaluate thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental performance of architectural systems.
