Shady Attia is an architectural engineer and professor of sustainable architecture and building technology at the University of Liège in Belgium. He founded the Sustainable Building Design Lab, which he heads, at the Department of Urban & Environmental Engineering in 2014. The lab's activities focus on design decision support for high-performance buildings and climate-proof cities. Building performance simulation and life cycle assessment are used for building carbon emissions and footprint modeling and decarbonization strategies. He has expertise in building physics, performance simulation/optimization, and carbon footprint modeling. His research is focused on informed decision support for a range of domains from the design of user-centered and carbon-neutral buildings to the evaluation of the indoor–outdoor environmental quality and building life cycle assessment.
