Masoud AzimiSechoghaei is a doctoral researcher at the University of Galway University. He is investigating the heating behaviours of occupants in residential buildings toward how to assess the energy consumed for space heating in residences before and after the retrofit.

Currently, he is involved with the HEAT CHECK project aimed to investigate the relationship between energy consumption, indoor environmental quality, occupant behaviour, and construction materials through physical monitoring and simulations of buildings, leading to improvements in the energy audit procedure for the DEAP and NEAP energy compliance tools and consequently to comfortable, energy-efficient buildings with high-performance renewable solutions.
