Simone Dugaria

Simone Dugaria is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Building Technology and Energy (IGE) at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, specializing in sustainable thermal energy technologies and building systems. His work focuses on energy-efficient HVAC systems, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort in built environments.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering (Energy Engineering), University of Padova (2014-2017)
  • Master's in Energy Engineering, University of Padova (2014)
  • Bachelor's in Energy Engineering, University of Padova (2010)
  • Technical High School in Electrotechnics and Automation, Bolzano-Bozen (2006)

His research emphasizes practical applications of energy systems, including heat and moisture recovery technologies, ventilation optimization, and human-building interaction. He contributes to projects like EISCH (summer comfort improvements) and RePPER (power peak reduction through enthalpy recovery).

He has held postdoctoral roles at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen (2019–2022) and the University of Padova (2017–2019). His expertise spans German (C1/B2), English (C1/B2), and Italian (native).

Labs/Teams: Active in the Building Technology Testing Laboratory at IGE, focusing on applied research in sustainable building technologies.
