Daniel Godoy Shimizu

Daniel Godoy Shimizu serves as a Lecturer in Building Performance Analysis at the UCL Energy Institute within The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, University College London. His academic appointment focuses on building physics modeling and energy performance analysis, with active research contributions through 2024 publications.

His research centers on energy use in the built environment, specializing in building stock modeling, climate resilience, and net zero transitions. Key focus areas include:

• School building overheating and climate adaptation
• London building stock energy modeling (M25 region)
• Residential retrofit pathways for social housing
• Integration of renewable energy in educational facilities
• Spatiotemporal analysis of building energy consumption

His publication portfolio demonstrates consistent output in high-impact journals including Building and Cities, Energy and Buildings, and Building Services Engineering Research and Technology. Recent work shows increasing emphasis on climate risk assessment for educational infrastructure, with significant contributions to understanding school building overheating and developing net zero pathways for English school stocks. His research methodology combines empirical data analysis with advanced stock modeling techniques.

Daniel previously worked as an Associate at Cambridge Architectural Research (CAR) Ltd, contributing to the Household Electricity Survey analysis and Housing Energy Factfile development. His industry experience as a building services engineer provides practical grounding for his academic work, particularly in sizing building services and conducting environmental analyses for international projects.

Current research initiatives include membership in the London Buildings Stock Model team, developing detailed disaggregate models of every M25 building, and investigating high-rise building energy implications. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 12 (Responsible Consumption), and 13 (Climate Action).
