Research of buildings thermal comfort assessment through computer simulation, focused on the glazed façades impact. My work consisted of: - Developing research projects. - Assessing energy and thermal performance of indoor spaces through computer simulation in EnergyPlus and Ladybug Tools. - Analyzing data and statistics. - Writing technical-scientific reports. - Participating in Laboratory activities and study groups. - Presenting research results in scientific events in Brazil, Italy, and Belgium.

Research of thermal energy performance of office buildings in Brazil, focusing on the impact of glazing on energy consumption and thermal balance. I was a scholarship holder. My work consisted of: - Developing research projects. - Modeling and running building simulations in EnergyPlus. - Analyzing data on Excel and Tableau. - Writing technical-scientific reports. - Assisting training sessions. - Participating in Laboratory activities and study groups. - Presenting the research results in scientific events.

My work consisted of: - Assisting in the inspection of buildings projects and already constructed buildings for energy efficiency labels. - Applying both, prescriptive and simulation methods of the Brazilian energy efficiency regulations for commercial and residential buildings. - Assisting in the development and revision of technical procedures and administrative quality documents. - Participating in the accreditation process to become a certified organization for building energy efficiency inspection.

I was selected for a scholarship to assist in the research project about thermal comfort and energy efficiency in Social Housing analyses applying Brazilian standards. My work consisted of: - Investigating Social Housing regulations. - Performing building performance simulations in DesignBuilder. - Assisting in data analyses. - Writing technical-scientific reports and presenting them at a scientific event. - Assisting in the organization of events and training. - Participating in lab activities.
