Yiqun Pan is a full professor of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. Prof. Pan graduated from Tongji Unversity and got her Ph.D degree of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning in 1997. She has been teaching in Tongji University since then. She also served the deputy dean of Sino-German College of Applied Sciences in Tongji University from 2006 to 2010, in charge of curriculum and R&D in the college. She has been in Japan, USA and Germany as a visiting scholar several times during 1997 to 2005. She is a member of ASHARE and a Fellow of IBPSA. She is also on the Editorial Board of Journal of Building Performance Simulation and the Vice-President of the Chinese Society of HVAC Simulation Special Committee.Her teaching and research focus on building performance simulation, green building technologies and community energy planning. She has been teaching the building performance simulation and application in the past ten years and have authored two books about Building Energy Simulation and over 110 scientific journal papers. She has been participating many international research projects. She led the development of an EnergyPlus Interface in Chinese (VisualEPlus), collaborating with LBNL and Shandong University. She was the PI of several projects about building energy efficiency committed by Siemens Research Center and US Energy Foundation and LBNL. She joined the World Bank / Global Environmental Funding Project " Research on Implementation Pathway of Integrative Energy Planning based on Demand Side Management" and was in charge of two sub-tasks: (1) Urban energy use prediction (2) Community morphology and energy use.
