Carolina Recart

I am Carolina Recart, an architect by training who ventured into the realm of civil and environmental engineering, earning my Ph.D. at the University of Washington. My doctoral research centered on investigating the unintended consequences of energy retrofits, particularly when overlooking the critical hygrothermal performance aspect.

Presently, I hold the position of Postdoctoral Fellow at TU/e in the Netherlands, where I am dedicated to understanding strategies aimed at reducing energy demands in existing buildings. My primary focus lies in addressing the complexities of consumer behavior regarding heating systems, aiming to optimize energy usage without compromising comfort. By doing so, I strive to provide insights for informed decision-making in energy-efficient retrofitting projects.

Alongside my research endeavors, I take great pleasure in reviewing peer-reviewed journals. As an early-career researcher, I am actively seeking editorial opportunities to contribute to the academic community while honing my skills and expertise.
