"Whether designing a new building, studying an existing one, or researching the interaction between people and buildings, my interest in architecture is focused on how a place can enhance the quality of life of its occupants, support their needs, be comfortable and healthy to occupy, enhance their productivity and creativity, as well as sustain the resources of the global environment both in terms of process and product.
teach environmental control systems and sustainable design principles from the perspective of integrating this knowledge as a design primer in the early conceptualization of buildings. This is achieved through research and design explorations that engage students in a hands-on problem based learning experience."
Dr. Elzeyadi has conducted grant-supported research on the relationship between people and buildings including post-occupancy evaluations of work environments, lighting and daylighting guidelines, and adaptive re-use of historical buildings. He also consulted on various aspects of energy conscious design, electrical lighting and daylights, and the design of facilities for healthcare, cancer, and special populations. He is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including the IFMA-Haworth Research Award, Penn State Research Excellence Award, as well as a Ford Foundation Fellowship. Recently, he received an award from the University of Oregon to develop design guidelines for energy conscious cancer treatment facilities and a grant to support his BEAM project, a virtual laboratory for introducing students to building performance through a problem-based pedagogy.
Ihab came to the University of Oregon from professional practice where he was a project manager for the Heschong Mahone Group, Sacramento, California. He is a registered architect and engineer in Egypt where he has maintained a private practice architecture since 1988 that specializes in building rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of historical settings.
Professor Elzeyadi teaches courses in environmental control systems, lighting design, adaptive reuse, and architectural design studios.
