Talie Tohidi Moghadam
Doctoral Researcher
University College Cork; MaREI
Talie is a Ph.D. researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University College Cork (UCC).
She has received her M.Sc. Degree in Architectural Engineering from the Department of Architecture at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. Since January 2021, she has started her Ph.D. project under the supervision of Dr. Dominic O' Sullivan at Intelligent Efficiency Research Group (IERG) at UCC and the co-supervision of Prof. Brian Norton at International Energy Research Centre (IERC) at Tyndall National Institute. This four-year Ph.D. is funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) through MaREI— the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate, and Marine—and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Resilience and the Built Environment (ERBE CDT).
Energy efficient achievement of indoor air quality and thermal comfort using mechanical ventilation heat recovery and solar-energy pre-heating
Talie’s research seeks to evaluate the viability and efficiency of integrating solar air collectors with a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system for pre-heating ventilation air when ventilation is a significant contributor to the heating demand in the institutional buildings. Her research also aims to assess the ability of the solar collectors to maintain indoor air quality at a level consistent with comfort temperature standards.
