Pawel Wargocki

Pawel Wargocki is a Professor at the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on indoor environmental quality, air quality management, and human health impacts of building systems. He leads projects addressing airborne infection risk, thermal comfort, and ventilation strategies in schools, offices, and healthcare settings.

Key research areas include:

• Optimization of ventilation systems for infection control
• Thermal insulation in sleep environments
• Low-cost sensor validation for pollutant exposure
• CFD modeling of aerosol dynamics
• Public health implications of CO₂ levels
• Healthy building frameworks

Notable projects include:

• IEA EBC Annex 86: Energy-Efficient IAQ Management in Residential Buildings
• WHO Collaborations on Airborne Infection Risk Assessment
• International sleep quality studies funded by Danish Research Councils

His 396+ publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, with recent work published in Building and Environment, Infectious Disease Modelling, and Indoor and Built Environment. He supervises PhD students exploring cognitive performance in classrooms and HVAC energy savings.
