Linda Toledo is a Strathclyde Chancellor’s Fellow in Healthy Buildings and Lecturer in the Department of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde. She holds a PhD in Sustainable Buildings from De Montfort University (2018), a Master’s in Sustainability & Design from the University of East London (2012), and a professional architecture degree from the IUAV University of Venice (2007). Her research focuses on mitigating overheating and improving indoor air quality in low-energy housing, with a particular emphasis on adaptive comfort strategies and climate change adaptation.
Key roles include postdoctoral research at Eurac Research (2019–2021) and a Research Associate position at Strathclyde (2021–present), where her work has informed Scottish Government policy. She currently leads the REHSIA project on resilient housing in the Alpine region and co-leads the Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy-efficient Indoor Climate Control (EICCOH). Her research spans thermal comfort, ventilation systems, and retrofitting practices in both new and heritage buildings.
Dr. Toledo is an active contributor to the International Energy Agency’s EBC Annexes 79, 86, and 95, and serves as a reviewer for peer-reviewed journals and conferences. She has published extensively on building performance evaluation, low-carbon housing, and global thermal comfort standards, with outputs bridging academic rigor and practical policy implications.
