Deepak Amaripadath is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University (ASU). He is involved in research activities at ASU's Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory (SW-IFL) and the Global KAITEKI Center. Before joining ASU, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liege, Belgium, in the framework of Project SurChauffe, and a doctoral student at the University Bourgogne Franche-Comte, France, in the framework of Project MEAN4SG. His scholarly agenda focuses on climate-resilient building design through sustainable cooling strategies. His research will strive to provide practical insights into building design strategies to effectively respond to the challenges in the built environment while protecting and promoting occupant comfort and well-being in changing climates.

IEA EBC Annex 89 – Ways to Implement Net-zero Whole Life Carbon Buildings: October 2024 to Present – This IEA EBC Annex seeks to set precise performance targets and clear pathways for the whole-life decarbonization of buildings through multi-scale, multi-sectoral, and multi-stakeholder approaches to investigating the relationship between national carbon targets and Paris Agreement commitments. The annex will also create methodological guidelines, instruments, and decision-making tools to remove obstacles and hasten the shift to Net Zero Whole-Life Carbon buildings in different contexts.
IEA Annex 80+ – Sustainable Cooling in Cities: January 2024 to Present – This IEA Annex focuses on the physical effects of outdoor heat mitigation measures, including blue and green infrastructure, as well as cool surfaces and radiative cooling in cities. Additionally, the interaction between local climate and buildings resilience against heat waves will be investigated and quantified, considering the need for optimal integration of active cooling systems and heat dissipation strategies.
IEA EBC Annex 80 – Resilient Cooling of Buildings: April 2021 to September 2023 – This IEA EBC Annex developed and assessed resilient cooling solutions against building overheating phenomena. As part of Subtask C, the benefits of resilient cooling strategies were investigated through year-long field measurements in a nearly zero-energy office building in Brussels.
Community Engagement Activities: Volunteer for Southwest Integrated Field Laboratory Community Night – Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona – June 22, 2024 – Introduced scientific equipment for field measurements and provided interactive demos to the local community members.
