Habilitated doctor of technical sciences, engineer specializing in heating, ventilation and dust removal
technology.
In 1999, he graduated from the Faculty of Environmental and Power Engineering at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. He completed doctoral studies at the Danish Technical University in Kongens Lyngby, where in 2003 he obtained a PhD in technical sciences. The doctoral thesis concerned the study of the impact of personal ventilation on the comfort, health and work efficiency of its users. Then, until 2005, he continued working at the Danish Technical University in the International Center for Internal Environment and Energy as an assistant professor. He conducted research on the impact of the operation of ventilation and air conditioning systems on indoor air quality.
He began his research and teaching activities at the Silesian University of Technology in October 2005. Jan
Kaczmarczyk’s research work concerns the analysis of the operation of local environmental shaping systems and methods of assessing the quality of the built environment in buildings for various purposes.
He also constantly collaborates with scientists from the International Center for Internal Environment and Energy at the Danish Technical University, participating in joint research projects.
In 2011, for his work, he received the award of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Ventilation and
Air-Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE im. Ralph G. Nevin in the field of human physiology and environment. This prize is awarded annually to one young scientist who excels in this field. Dr. Jan Kaczmarczyk is a member of the International Association for Indoor Air and Environmental Quality (ISIAQ).
Since September 2015, he is the head of the Department of Heating, Ventilation and Dust Removal Technology.
