She has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and a MASc and PhD in building engineering that included the development of calibrated energy simulation models and the development of a new methodology to perform ongoing commissioning. Her research interest includes the development of new techniques to assess and improve energy performance during building operation. Recently, she has been working on various subjects related to energy performance such as energy prediction, calibration of building energy models, self-correction algorithms of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, improving the use of building energy simulation during design and during building operation as well as energy simulation in relation to Building Information Models (BIM).
