Prof. Avlokita Agrawal

I Am Dr. Avlokita Agrawal. I earned Bachelor of Architecture degree from IIT Roorkee in 2003 and PhD from IIT Roorkee in 2010. Right from college, the subject which most interested me were climatology and passive designing which were taught to us by one of the most accomplished teachers of those times, Dr. M R Sharma and Dr. I C Sharma, both from CBRI. After B Arch, I pursued PhD where I studied Impact of Vaastushastra on thermal comfort in traditional Havelis of Rajasthan. While pursuing PhD and post completion of PhD, I worked for companies like Asahi India Glass (where I headed their Green Design Division) and Honeywell international (where I worked in Corporate Affairs division with a focus on building energy efficiency vertical). In corporate jobs, I was mainly working toward various aspects of building energy efficiency. After joining back academics, I have mainly taught subjects like Sustainable Built Environment. I also manage the IGBC student chapter at IIT Roorkee.
