Petr Hlavsa

Petr Hlavsa serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at the Faculty of Architecture, Brno University of Technology (VUT Brno) in the Czech Republic. His academic profile combines theoretical research with practical applications in building technology and architectural design. With over a decade of scholarly activity documented through numerous publications and research projects, Hlavsa has established himself as a specialist in energy-efficient construction methods and building physics.

His educational background includes dual engineering degrees (Ing. et Ing.) and a Ph.D., reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to architectural engineering. Hlavsa's research interests span multiple critical areas of contemporary building science, with particular emphasis on sustainable construction materials and energy performance certification systems.

Hlavsa's scholarly output reveals consistent research themes across his publications. His work demonstrates deep expertise in thermal performance of building elements, acoustic properties of construction systems, and energy certification methodologies for existing buildings. Recent publications increasingly focus on innovative construction techniques, including additive manufacturing with natural materials. His research combines experimental testing with regulatory analysis, creating practical solutions that address both technical challenges and compliance requirements in the building sector.

Hlavsa actively contributes to architectural practice through design projects including family homes in Lukovany and Lesná, demonstrating the practical application of his research findings. His patents for construction elements, particularly the 2023 patent for prefabricated floor elements, represent significant technical innovations in the field.

His research projects portfolio shows sustained funding support for investigations into building acoustics, thermal performance, and sustainable construction methods. Current projects like 'Hlína pro lidi' (Clay for People) demonstrate his commitment to developing ecological and economically favorable community buildings using unfired clay.

Hlavsa maintains an active scholarly network, frequently collaborating with colleagues across Czech technical universities. His work bridges the gap between academic research and practical building applications, making significant contributions to both theoretical understanding and practical implementation in architectural engineering.
