Summary
Pascal Schetelat is a data-driven scientific director with 12+ years of experience building national-scale building data infrastructure and predictive models to accelerate the ecological transition. At CSTB he leads the BDNB programme, designing its data architecture and governance (PostGIS, Spark, DuckDB, Dagster, DBT, Kubernetes) while coordinating R&D, multidisciplinary teams and model integration to improve building performance data quality. His background in fluid dynamics and metrology (PhD, Grenoble INP) informs a rigorous, simulation-aware approach to data modelling and uncertainty quantification. Pragmatic in both code and research, he moved from Python-based multiphysics and DevOps work to steering sovereign, open and durable data platforms that serve France’s building sector. Notably, he combines model-driven physics expertise with modern data engineering to make building stock insights both actionable and auditable.
