Deepak Amaripadath is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University. He is involved in research activities at Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory and the Global KAITEKI Center. Before joining Arizona State University, 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 in warming climates. He is a member of the IEA EBC Annex 89 – Ways to Implement Net-zero Whole Life Carbon Buildings, focusing on the pathways and actions to implement whole life cycle-based net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from buildings in policy and practice, alongside IEA Cities TCP & EBC Annex 97 – Sustainable Cooling in Cities, focusing on the physical effects of urban-scale heat mitigation strategies. Previously, he was a member of the IEA EBC Annex 80 – Resilient Cooling of Buildings, which focused on developing and evaluating resilient cooling strategies against overheating in buildings.

IEA Cities TCP & EBC Annex 80+ – Sustainable Cooling in Cities: January 2024 to Present – This 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 building resilience against extreme heat events like heat waves will be investigated and quantified, considering the need for optimal integration of active cooling systems and heat dissipation strategies.
IEA EBC Annex 89 – Ways to Implement Net-zero Whole Life Carbon Buildings: October 2024 to Present – This 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 promote Net Zero Whole-Life Carbon buildings.
IEA EBC Annex 80 – Resilient Cooling of Buildings: April 2021 to September 2023 – This Annex developed and assessed building overheating phenomena through transition to an environment where resilient low energy and low carbon cooling systems are the mainstream and preferred solutions for cooling and overheating issues in buildings. Benefits of resilient cooling were investigated through a year-long field measurements in a nearly zero-energy office building in Brussels as part of Subtask C.
