The research of this Presidential Young Investigator Award will focus on        applying engineering principles to studies in building sciences and the         quality of the built environment, including research in the fields of           building climatology, thermal performance of passive cooling                    systems, modelling and assessment of human thermal comfort, wind tunnel         studies of building design for natural ventilation, and numerical               modelling of the behavior of indoor air pollutants.                             The emphasis is to continue both theoretical and empirical research in          the areas of thermal response to the built environment, and the                 behavior and control of indoor pollutants.  Through a combination of            wind tunnel testing, field studies in office buildings, and controlled          experiments in a controlled environment chamber, various physical               effects of building interior environments on the physiology, comfort,           behavior, and productivity of their occupants will be investigated.             These studies will address the economic, architectural, and engineering         implications.  Research will also expand on previous development of a           model of the convective transport and removal processes of indoor radon         decay products.  These studies will aid in the development of effective         mitigation strategies to improve indoor air quality.
