Dr Paula M. Esquivias

Brief Bio

Dr. Paula M. Esquivias is a building scientist with a background on Architecture and Architectural Engineering. She is a Lecturer at the Department of Architectural Constructions at the University of Granada (UGr), Spain. Her research interests and contributions are related to the Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ), mainly focused on the luminous and thermal aspects, achieved by passive means, for getting comfortable and healthy spaces meanwhile improving the energy efficiency and the sustainability of the buildings. Being the thermal and daylighting strategies sometimes contradictory, she is especially interested in the integral assessment of the effects (visible, non-visible and thermal) of the solar radiation entering through the openings.

Research areas

• Daylighting, Visual and non-visual effects of lighting
• User’s interaction with solar protection devices
• Climate-based daylight metrics, Building Energy Performance
