About
Prageeth Jayathissa is a leading researcher at the intersection of building technology, adaptive energy systems, and sustainable architecture. His work focuses on developing intelligent, responsive building envelopes that dynamically manage energy flows and indoor comfort. His most influential paper, "Dynamic photovoltaic building envelopes for adaptive energy and comfort management" (2019, 123 citations), introduces a novel approach to integrating photovoltaics into building skins that can adjust their configuration in real time—optimizing both electricity generation and thermal comfort. This work has been foundational in the emerging field of adaptive building systems. Jayathissa also contributed significantly to the landmark NEST HiLo project (2017, 53 citations), which demonstrated lightweight construction techniques combined with adaptive energy systems in a real-world living lab. His research bridges computational design, building physics, and control systems, offering practical pathways toward net-zero energy buildings. With over 200 total citations, Jayathissa’s work is shaping how we think about buildings not as static structures, but as active participants in energy and comfort management.
