Academic background

Georg Reichard is the Chair of the School of Building Construction at Georgia Tech. Previous to his engagement at Georgia Tech he was Department Head and Professor of Building Construction and an Associate Director of the Myers-Lawson School of Construction at Virginia Tech, where he taught and conducted research in the wider areas of building science for more than 20 years.

Georg Reichard holds a Masters Degree and a Doctoral Degree in Civil Engineering from Graz University of Technology.

For me, it was a fascinating discovery how the physical world in simulation can easily bridge gaps across disciplinary silos.

Academic Objectives

Georg Reichard's research deals with numerical methods, simulation and data models, in particular in the area of building sciences. In his current research, he focuses on building performance, energy efficiency in buildings, retrofitting solutions, systems integration, integrated control strategies and smart building materials - using modeling and simulation assessment techniques to improve our buildings, their systems and operation processes.
