About

Jovan Pantelic is a leading researcher at the intersection of building science, human health, and thermal comfort. His work reimagines how we cool indoor spaces, moving beyond energy-intensive air conditioning toward passive and radiant strategies. A defining contribution is the **Thermoheliodome**, an experimental pavilion that demonstrates "air conditioning without conditioning the air." This project, which has garnered 35 citations, ingeniously combines indirect evaporative cooling with geometric reflection of radiant cooling, proving that comfortable environments can be created with minimal energy use. Pantelic’s research also critically examines the role of ventilation in airborne disease transmission, particularly for influenza and COVID-19, influencing public health guidelines. His impact is further underscored by his work on personalized environmental control systems and the physiological effects of thermal stimuli on sleep and productivity. By bridging engineering, physiology, and architecture, Pantelic is not just refining HVAC systems—he is fundamentally redefining the relationship between people, buildings, and the climate.
