Francesco Goia

Francesco Goia is a Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Architecture and Technology, Faculty of Architecture and Design. He holds a Ph.D. in Energetics (Polytechnic University of Turin) and a co-joint Ph.D. in Architecture (NTNU). His research focuses on energy-efficient buildings, particularly the dynamic behavior of building envelopes and renewable energy integration. He has authored over 90 publications and contributed to IEA Annex/Task groups and COST actions. His expertise includes thermal analysis, HVAC systems, daylighting, and building physics simulations. Current projects involve advanced façade systems, adaptive building envelopes, and occupant-centric data streams for energy management. He collaborates internationally, with affiliations in Italy and Norway. Research highlights include experimental studies on double-skin façades, PV-integrated shading systems, and low-energy neighborhood energy management. Awards and recognitions from peer-reviewed journals and international conferences are notable, though specific awards are not listed.
