Stefan Thor Smith

Professor in the Department of Construction Management and Engineering & Research Division Lead in the School of the Built Environment, University of Reading

Professor Smith's research addresses questions on energy system dynamics, energy demand, and associated environmental impacts. Through his work, Dr. Smith has had significant involvement in the development, use, and evaluation of models for the purpose of understanding energy demand in the context of socio-technical systems and physical (environmental) system processes. His work has been applied to issues of energy demand-side management, building environmental control systems, urban heat fluxes, pollution exposure modelling, and climate change resilience and adaptation studies.
