Elias EL GHAOUI

Sustainable Building Engineer with a background in architecture and strong experience working at the intersection of design and environmental performance.

We bring a strong technical approach to passive design, shaping buildings that perform efficiently by design rather than by compensation, with particular attention to summer thermal comfort, bioclimatic architecture and energy efficiency. The result: projects that are not only high-performing, but more distinctive, grounded in a deeper understanding of how a building truly works.

Education and experience:

Architecture Degree, Lebanese University, Lebanon

Graduated with a degree in Architecture, followed by several years of professional experience designing buildings.

Sustainable Building Engineering, France

Specialized for four years as a Sustainable Building Engineer in a leading French engineering firm, with a focus on energy efficiency. This experience merged architectural sensibility with technical expertise in sustainable, high-performance building design.

Softwares:

Each project calls for the right tool rather than a single default one. I work with a range of software, each suited to a specific type of analysis. Energy performance, daylighting, or thermal comfort,  and select the one that best matches the requirements of the mission at hand. 

This flexibility allows for more accurate, mission-specific results rather than forcing every question through the same lens.
