Gillian Isoardi

Gillian Isoardi is a researcher affiliated with the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Her work focuses on daylighting systems, lighting design, and visual comfort analysis in architectural environments.

Her research spans energy-efficient lighting strategies, discomfort glare prediction, and dynamic luminance modeling, particularly in tropical and subtropical climates. She has developed innovative frameworks for post-occupancy lighting evaluation and multi-region contrast analysis using high dynamic range imaging.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to complex fenestration systems, public stairway illumination, and LED integration with daylight for office comfort. Collaborative projects with Veronica Garcia Hansen and Michael Hirning demonstrate her interdisciplinary approach to building performance simulation.
