Career

Scartezzini studied both physics at EPFL and geophysics at the University of Lausanne, and obtained his Masters's degrees in 1980 and 1981, respectively. As a PhD student he joined the Solar Energy Research Group of André P. Faist at EPFL, and in 1984 for a year the Colorado State University as a visiting scholar. He graduated from EPFL at the Department of Physics in 1986 with a PhD thesis on "Application of Stochastic Methods to the Analysis of Solar Energy Systems."[2][3][4]

Thereafter, he joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a visiting scholar to work on daylighting and green lighting technologies, and air infiltration and ventilation.[5][6][7]

From 1990 to 1997, he was associate professor of building physics at the School of Architecture and the University Center for the Study of Energy Problems at the University of Geneva. In 1994, he was nominated associate professor of building physics at EPFL, director of the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory and co-director of Institute of Building Technology (ITB) at EPFL's Departement of Architecture. Upon his appointment as full professor at EPFL in 1999, he founded and headed the Institute of Infrastructures, Resources and Environment (ICARE) of the School of Environmental, Architectural and Civil Engineering (ENAC), as well as the Doctoral Program in Environment of EPFL .[8][9][10][11]

Research

Scartezzini's research focuses in an interdisciplinary manner on energy efficiency and application of renewable energies in buildings and neighborhoods. His main working areas are dedicated to the integration of daylighting and electric lighting;[12][13] the application of nanotechnologies for solar energy harvesting;[14] the implementation of data mining, intelligence and simulation in urban districts;[15][16] the realisation of smart buildings and cities;[17][18] and the integration of renewable energies in buildings.[19]

Drawing on various scientific fields, Scartezzin's research facilities maintain a nanotechnological laboratory for solar energy conversion,[20] experimental testbeds, such as the LESO solar experimental building,[21] a daylighting and photo-biological laboratory,[22] and an urban climate monitoring station.[23] He is also involved in the development of computer modelling software for design, analyses and optimal control of buildings and cities.[16][24]

Scartezzini is author or co-author of several books related to daylighting and green lighting, such as Daylight Design of Buildings: a Handbook for Architects and Engineers;[25] Daylighting Design: A Source Book on Daylighting Systems and Components;[26] Lighting Principles; Office Lighting; Industrial Lighting; and Lighting of Commercial Buildings.
