Background
Dr. Mukhopadhyaya researches on various issues related to building envelopes and structures. His current research focus is on heat-air-moisture (HAM) transport through building envelopes and materials and its impact on the durability, energy efficiency and sustainability of the built environment.
More specifically, application of innovative engineered high performance exterior building envelope materials and systems for enhanced durability and energy performance of built environment has been the primary theme of his research in recent years.
Laboratory based performance characterization, in-situ performance assessment and application of numerical modelling tools are three fundamental blocks for these research activities.
Research
- Energy Efficient Buildings
- High Performance Thermal Insulations (e.g. Foam, Aerogel, Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) etc.),
- Hygrothermal Properties of Construction Materials
- Moisture Management in Building Envelopes
- Wood-Frame Constructions
- Novel and/or Bio-based Construction Materials
- Technologies for Retrofitting Building Envelope and Structures
