Bio

Dave Lorenzetti works on problems related to indoor air quality and energy use in buildings. He primarily uses simulation -- both writing simulation tools, and contributing to frameworks for integrating and adapting other simulation tools.

Lorenzetti is the primary author of the IceBox single-zone model for predicting indoor concentrations as the result of outdoor and indoor sources. His other buildings-related simulation work mainly uses CONTAM and EnergyPlus.
