Formation doctorale Professeur invité Jessica Roxana Molina Castillo

Mini CV – Jessica Roxana Molina Castillo

Dr. Jessica Molina holds a degree in Physics Engineering, a Master of Science in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency, and a Ph.D. in Energy Science, all obtained from the National University of Engineering (UNI), Peru.

Since 2012, she has participated in numerous research projects focused on the analysis and enhancement of thermal comfort in dwellings located in high-altitude Andean regions of Peru.  She has presented her findings various scientific conferences and published in journals.

Currently, she has worked as a researcher at the Center for Renewable Energy and Rational Use of Energy (CER-UNI), where she leads and collaborates on studies related to thermal comfort in High Andean regions, conducting studies to establish the conditions under which high Andean residents report feeling comfortable. In addition to her research activities, Dr. Molina is also a lecturer in the Master’s Program in Renewable Energies at UNI, where she teaches courses related to thermal comfort, heat transfer, and energy simulation of buildings.

THERMAL COMFORT AND BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE

This course will commence with an introduction to the concept of thermal comfort, including its fundamentals definitions, parameters, and the analysis of its indices for its evaluation. The concepts of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) for buildings will then be presented. Special attention will be given to the mechanisms of heat gain and loss through various building envelope components, including walls, roofs, floors, windows, and doors. Methods for estimating these thermal exchanges will be discussed, followed by the development of steady-state energy balance models for buildings. A simplified approach will also be presented for estimating the energy required to achieve thermal comfort within buildings. In the final stage of the course, the m2m program will be used to perform dynamics energy simulations inside buildings.
