Programs of Study

Dr. Emad Afifi is a professor of architecture, past chairman of the architecture department from 1995 to 2001, and past interim dean of the School of Building Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He earned his doctoral degree in architecture at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1994. His Dissertation title is "Hybrid Environmental Control Systems: Thermal Performance of an Integrated Double-Envelope Building Model." He also earned a Master of Science degree in 1985 and a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Engineering with Honors in 1980 at Cairo University, Egypt. Afifi was a visiting scholar at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany in 1981 and received practical training in Architecture at the city of Munich Landbauamt in Germany 1979.

His integral design studio work is known for a high level of creativity and innovation in response to environmental factors and the principles of building performance and systems integration. He established the NCARB-Prize winning Building Systems Integration and Performance Studio at SCAD. Afifi's research interests cover several topics within sustainable design and development in urban and natural settings including energy-conscious design, building systems integration, high performance buildings, and renewable energy applications in the built-environment. His contributions to the field of architecture include research on double-envelope building systems, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and other topics in building science and technology.

Selected Publications and Recent Research:

• Building Systems Integration & Performance (BSI+P) Studio-2008 NCARB Prize. The BSI+P is an advanced design studio that has a focus on building systems integration and comprehensive building performance. The studio is set up to bridge the professions of architecture and engineering and to create and test innovative and unprecedented design ideas. The studio includes solutions that implement cutting edge renewable energy resources such as PV-solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy. Pushing the envelope of conventional systems design, studio projects further explore the expressive architectural potential for such technologies in building and site design with focus on total building performance. The BSI+P studio work has a strong potential for opening new windows for practice in architecture, engineering, and environmental design at large.
• Photovoltaic Environmental Control Laboratory (PVDL). This project involved researching and developing a prototypical model for a self-sustaining, photovoltaic-powered environmental control laboratory at SCAD to support environmental control and building science education and research. Photovoltaics (PV's) directly convert sunlight to electricity by solar cells. Photovoltaic solar electricity can deliver clean, reliable, power as a grid connected source. Professor Afifi conducted, coordinated, co-chaired, and participated in numerous conferences, design exhibitions, design charrettes, design jury reviews, and peer reviews in architectural education and building science. He was invited and participated as Keynote speaker in USA and the UAE. He delivered the keynote speech at the Illumination Engineering Society 2008 conference held in Savannah, Georgia. He was also invited guest speaker at the 2005 1st International Conference on Green Buildings at Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He also served as co-chair for two of the Society of Building Science Educators, SBSE summer conferences in 2000 in Spring Green, Wisconsin and in 2005 in Savannah.
