About Nima Izadyar
Nima Izadyar is a Lecturer with the School of Built Environment, College of Engineering & Science, Victoria University. His Field of Research is in Building Science and Techniques with a focus on energy-efficient buildings, ventilation, indoor environment quality, building surveying, and renewable energy.
Nima completed his PhD at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), 2020. His PhD project focused on reducing cooling demand in buildings by using natural ventilation as an alternative for mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning. He was found the impact of changing balcony design on natural ventilation performance at an indoor area. Nima won the AIRAH Student of the Year, Higher Education or Research Award 2020, which is one of the most prestigious awards from the ventilation industry in Australia. Nima obtained his Master of Energy Engineering at Tehran Science and Research University, Iran in 2011. His masters project focused on optimum design of a District Heating System (DHS) as a natural gas alternative for heating purposes. He published two journal articles, both in Q1 journals, based on the outcome of this study.
Nima worked as a researcher for more than five years in Australia and overseas. He was involved in the Affordable Heating and Cooling Innovation Hub (i-Hub) project, funded by AIRAH, as a research associate from February to September 2020. Nima had carried out two years of research as a research assistant under High Impact Research (HIR) program at the school of Mechanical Engineering, University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia between Feb 2015 and January 2017. In this period, his research focused on harvesting energy from hybrid renewable energy sources (wind and solar) and providing remote areas with cleaner energy as an alternative for diesel generators. Nima also worked on an environmentally friendly lighting system and charging station powered by hybrid energy sources from vertical axis wind turbines and PV cells. He was recognised as a bright spark research assistant because of his research outcomes and publications in high-quality journals.
Nima has two years of industry experience as an energy consultant with Kar-o-Niroo Consulting Co., during which time he was focused on energy audits of industrial and commercial buildings based on energy standards (EN16001:2009 and ISO 50001). Nima also worked as a Teaching assistant, Fundamentals of Energy Management, at TUV Academy Iran-Germany from December 2010 to March 2012.
