Juan Sebastian Peñaranda

Juan Sebastian holds a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Colombia (2018) and a master’s degree in Building Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2021). During his master’s thesis project and subsequent research internship, he studied how dynamic energy models can be a fundamental improvement in the design of building HVAC systems, compared to the traditional stationary or semi-stationary methods still used in Italy today. Applying this expertise in energy modeling and energy efficiency in his following work experiences, he has developed technical and economic feasibility projects for the energy requalification of third sector buildings, energy audits for residential and office buildings, hospitals, assisted health care residences, while also energy models based on the Ashrae 90.1 standard for LEED certifications of sustainable buildings. By pursuing the highest possible energy savings in every project in which he is involved, he intends to contribute in this way to the decarbonization of the building sector.
