Resilient Cooling of Buildings meets Resilient Cooling in Cities - Interactive Session

   DESCRIPTION OF THE SESSION

In this interactive session the challenges of resilient cooling of buildings and their relation to their urban surroundings will be addressed. After a short presentation of main outcomes of EBC Annex 80 Resilient Cooling of Buildings, the audience will work in small groups on a prepared set of building cases and challenges. With the Technology Profiles from Annex 80 and the Resilient Cooling Guidelines at hand different solutions shall be discussed and most suitable ones identified. The discussion of these different approaches in the plenum shall foster peer learning and create a better understanding of the nexus of resilient cooling of buildings and resilient cooling in cities.

   OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

Participants will

  • Learn about the main EBC Annex 80 Resilient Cooling of Buildings outcomes such as concise Technology Profiles and well-structured Resilient Cooling Guideline.
  • Deepen their understanding of Resilient Cooling Solutions through applying the presented knowledge in a scenario-based workshop setting.
  • Discuss and learn from the knowledge and expertise of their fellow participants.
  • Describe interrelation of resilient cooling of buildings and their urban surroundings.
  • Collectively identify possible solution paths and potential further research objectives.

Prof. Sani Dimitroulopoulou (UK Health Security Agency, UKHSA)

Sani is a Principal Environmental Public Health Scientist, Air Quality and Public Health, UKHSA (formerly Public Health England, PHE) leading on indoor air quality and health.
She is also Visiting Professor, at Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, The Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, UCL.
 
Her research interests include exposure assessment to air pollution, based on modelling and monitoring of outdoor and indoor air pollution and ventilation, health impact assessments and development of environmental public health indicators and indoor air quality guidelines.
She works closely with colleagues from UK Government Departments (e.g. DHSC, DfE, DLUHC, Defra, DESNZ) and Organisations (e.g. WHO, NICE, CIBSE, RCP/RCPCH, BSI) to provide expert advice on indoor air quality and health. She participated in the Cross Whitehall Group for the revision of the Building Regulations, Part F and she sits on the Advisory Board organised by DLUHC for the revision of HHSRS (Housing Health and Safety Rating System). She was the UKHSA project manager for the development of the DHSC/UKHSA/DLUHC guidance on “Damp and mould: understanding and addressing the health risks for rented housing providers”. She is the Chair of UK Indoor Environments Group (UKIEG).

Dr. Ana Maria Scutaru

Ana Maria Scutaru is a scientist at the German Environment Agency (UBA) in Berlin. She received her PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the Institute of Pharmacy at the Freie Universität Berlin in 2011. Her work focuses on the health-related evaluation of building products emissions into indoor air and other indoor air related topics. Ana Maria Scutaru is the secretary of the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) and of the EU-LCI Working Group within the harmonisation framework for health-based evaluation of indoor emissions from construction products in the European Union.

Corinne Mandin earned her PhD in environmental chemistry from the University of Rennes, France.
She has been working on human exposure to chemical substances and physical agents and the related health effects, first at INERIS (French national institute for industrial environment and risks) for 8 years, and then at CSTB (French scientific and technical center for building) for 13 years. At CSTB, she coordinated the French Indoor Air Quality Observatory, a public research program created in 2001 to carry out nationwide surveys on air quality in buildings. In 2022, she joined the French institute for radiation protection and nuclear safety (IRSN) where she leads the radiation epidemiology group.
She has been involved in various European and international projects and expert committees, including at the World Health Organization and the European Joint Research Center. She is currently chairing the expert committee dedicated to outdoor and indoor air quality at the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (Anses). She was president of the International Society for Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) from 2020 to 2022. In 2022, she coedited the Handbook of Indoor Air Quality (Springer).
