Mohanned Althobaiti is a Ph.D. candidate in the Building Technology & Performance program and a member of the High Performance Building Lab. His research interest is situated at the intersection of architecture, sustainability, and building efficiency. He is interested in energy studies, controls, modeling, and simulation for the design and operation of high-performing buildings in order to improve the way buildings use resources. The technical performance of buildings is the result of the complex interplay of highly variable boundary conditions with the physical behavior of many components operating in multiple domains. The capture of this relationship at appropriate resolution and aggregation with subsequent use in design and operational decisions is the major focus of Mohanned’s research.

Mohanned received an MArch degree from the University of Miami, where he conducted his thesis: “Intelligent and Adaptive Façade System: The Impact of Intelligent and Adaptive Façade on The Performance and Energy Efficiency of Buildings.”
