معرفی
Elie Azar, a Professor at Carleton University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, specializes in human-centered building design and urban sustainability. His work bridges occupant behavior, energy efficiency, and computational modeling.
- B.Eng., Polytechnique Montréal
- MSc. and Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison
Current teaching includes ACSE 3201 Introduction to Building Performance Simulation and BLDG 5103 Research Methods in Building Engineering. Previous courses span energy economics, green building design, and advanced optimization techniques.
Research explores:
- Agent-based modeling of urban energy systems
- Machine learning applications in building simulation
- Energy equity across Canadian households
- Climate resilience in Gulf region construction
- Smart city transitions beyond technological determinism
- Occupant behavior integration in policy frameworks
Recent publications examine the WELL Building Standard, energy storage for renewable communities, and urban form impacts on energy performance. His methodological focus combines:
- Surrogate modeling with physics-based simulations
- Cross-national behavioral datasets
- Techno-economic analysis of green building systems
- Multi-objective optimization under uncertainty
Key collaborations involve Gulf region climate change initiatives and Canadian building energy codes reviews.
