Praveena Pochampalli

Research analyst

My work aims to create a framework of retrofit solutions that work for a range of UK archetypes, as well as resources that make it simple to deliver these solutions by bridging the research-practice divide.

What I do at Energiesprong UK

I'm a Research Analyst at Energiesprong UK and a PhD student working on whole-house industrialised retrofit strategies and protocol standardisation to assess retrofit benefits.

I've got more than ten years’ experience in architecture and a strong passion for sustainability, which led me to pursue a master's degree in Architecture and Sustainable Design where I realised my potential in researching extensively for sustainable approaches to design challenges. I've worked on studio projects to develop design strategies for low energy buildings.

What I did before Energiesprong UK

Prior to joining Energiesprong, I collaborated with the University of Nottingham on a research project to retrofit Nottingham's existing housing stock towards carbon neutrality, which was funded by the UK Government as part of the UK Community Renewal Fund. My primary focus was on building performance analysis using dynamic thermal simulation modelling.
