Summary
Kamel Haddad is a project leader and researcher based in Ottawa with over two decades of expertise in building energy simulation, HVAC systems, and energy efficiency research. He leads applied simulation projects at Natural Resources Canada, translating advanced thermal science into practical tools and policies for building performance. His academic foundation—BS, MS, and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State—underpins earlier experimental work on fenestration heat transfer and smoke control. Known for bridging rigorous lab-based heat transfer research with large-scale modeling applications, he often works at the intersection of theory, experiment, and policy impact. Colleagues value his deep domain knowledge and long-term commitment to improving building energy outcomes in Canada.
