Education Background

Chengnan Shi is an Architectural Engineering Ph.D. student in the Sustainable Buildings and Societies Laboratory. Chengnan received his Bachelor’s degree in Building Environmental and Energy Application Engineering from Xi’an Jiao Tong University, China in 2017. He then received his Master’s degree in Architecture Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2020. His master’s research mainly focused on the development of hygroscopic material to passively modify the indoor humidity environment. His current research interests are building energy system modeling and optimization, building-to-grid integration. He is an ASHRAE Student Member.
