Dr Filbert Musau's past and ongoing research interests have focused on energy efficiency in buildings in the context of thermal control, daylight & natural ventilation; urban density; space planning; and more recently, embodied carbon. A related area has focused on simulation of environmental and energy performance of buildings with various software packages. He has published numerous scientific papers on these areas in the Architectural Science Review, International Journal of Ventilation; the Building and Environment Journal; the Sustainability journal; the Passive and Low Energy (PLEA) organisation; and the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). Dr. Musau is actively engaged in research and consultancy partnerships with industry. He has led two international research collaborations on Indoor Environmental Quality of Housing for the Urban Poor. One between India, Kenya and UK, funded by the ODA-GCRF; and the other between Kenya and UK, funded by the British Academy. He has completed research as the Principal Investigator of four projects funded by Innovate-UK, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Innovation Vouchers, ODA, among others. In these, he has explored links between building development processes; energy and environmental performance; and occupant satisfaction. He was also the Principal Investigator of research on a Control System for Energy Reduction in Vacant Environments (ConSERVE), with support from Danfoss Ltd. and funding from Innovate-UK. He has completed several research projects funded by GSA’s Sustainability in Action Fund; GSA’s Research Development Fund; won several CIC Start Online funding competitions; won several Scottish Innovation Voucher Scheme competition calls; and the Scottish Funding Council. Completed UKRI funded research as Co-Investigator include Other past research projects explored: ‘Urban Density and Microclimate’; ‘Daylight Design in Exhibition Spaces’; ‘Façade Design for Thermal Control in Office Buildings in the Tropics’; and ‘Building Form and Natural Ventilation’. Dr. Musau is a registered Architect and teaches courses on 'Environmental Design in Architecture' and 'Energy and Environment in buildings' across the undergraduate, diploma and graduate programmes at the Mackintosh School of Architecture (MSA). He has been a member of the faculty since 2009,and is Co-Director of the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit (MEARU). He directs two Pathways of the Masters in Architectural studies: (i) Energy and Environment, and (ii) ZEMCH; and supervises PhD students in these subjects. He initiated, developed, and led an MSc in Environmental Architecture between 2014 and 2021.
