Professor Veronica Soebarto awarded Fellowship by IBPSA

Posted on October 10, 2019 by Annemarie Gaskin

Congratulations to new Environment Institute member, Professor Veronica Soebarto (School of Architecture and Built Environment) who has been awarded the title of Fellow by the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) for her distinction in and substantial contribution to the field of building performance simulation.

Veronica is the leader of the Sustainability research stream at the School and of the Environment & Building Research Unit. Her research interests include:

Building thermal/energy simulation
Environmental monitoring
Sustainable building design and assessments
Human thermal comfort
Age-friendly built environment
Social dimension of sustainability and sustainable design.

The IBPSA award was presented at the 16th Building Simulation Conference in Rome recently.

Adelaide’s Urban canopy cover study published in new book

We are delighted to advise that the Environment Institute’s Dr Carlos Bartesaghi-Koc (first author), Professor Veronica Soebarto, Dr Scott Hawken and Dr Ehsan Sharifi, all from the School of Architecture and Built Environment, have authored the chapter entitled “The Potential for Urban Canopy Cover to Reduce Heat-Related Mortality in Adelaide” in the recently published book Urban Overheating: Heat […]

Housing design for older South Aussies under the spotlight

University of Adelaide researchers will investigate the quality of housing for older South Australians to improve their wellbeing and resilience to extreme weather. People at least 65 years old and who live independently in the Charles Sturt, Playford, Salisbury, Port Adelaide Enfield and Murray Bridge council areas are invited to take part in the study. […]

How older Australians can beat the heat at home

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a guide for older South Australians to help them to keep the temperature in their homes comfortable during summer and winter. The researchers say, because older people spend the majority of their time (75-80 per cent) at home, improving room temperatures can greatly benefit their wellbeing. The […]

Publication from the Heat and Habitat in Cities Symposium features Professor Veronica Soebarto

The Environment Institute was proud to support the Heat and Habitat in Cities Symposium late in 2019. The event was held at the National Wine Centre on the 9 – 10 December, 2019 and hosted by the School of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Adelaide. The Heat and Habitat in Cities Symposium brought together international and […]

ONLINE EVENT: What makes science good? Q&A with leading University of Adelaide scientists

As part of National Science Week 2020, the Public Engagement in Science and Technology Adelaide (PESTA) research cluster will be hosting an online Q&A event to discuss ‘What Makes Science Good?’. Join us as we consider ways of effectively engaging the public in scientific research. DATE: Thursday 20 August 2020 TIME: 6:30pm – 8:30pm ACST […]

Heat and Habitats in Cities Symposium 9 – 10 December 2019

The Heat and Habitat in Cities Symposium or H2CS, hosted by the School of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Adelaide, will bring international and national experts, policy makers, planners, designers and researchers to exchange knowledge, experience and expertise and to discuss and debate concrete ideas for planning, designing, developing and improving our […]

Will simulation-based assessments and decisions save our built environment?

Listen to the Podcast of the eighth Science Seminar given by Associate Professor Veronica Soebarto entitled, “Will simulation-based assessments and decisions save our built environment?” In this seminar the roles of building simulation and of simulation-based design assessments and decisions in the built environment will be discussed. Building simulation, in particular thermal performance simulation, is […]
