Position in ZEB: Work package leader for WP3
Field of work:
Energy supply, energy consumption and indoor environment in buildings
Some lines about background regarding education and work:
Vojislav Novakovic has more than 30 years of experience in research, development and teaching in the area of heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning of built environment. He is full professor in energy efficiency in buildings at the Department of Energy and Process
Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology since 1994. He
obtained his MSc degree at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia and Dr.ing. degree at the Norwegian
Institute of Technology. He has participated and managed numerous national and international projects and collaborative activities. His
current main field of interests, besides the ZEB project, is life-time commissioning for energy efficient operation of buildings.
Some lines about non-professional background:
Many years ago, when I came to Trondheim to start my PhD, I had already good connections with Norway and Norwegians. I got this
through my father who during the World War II was a German prisoner in Norway for three years. During his imprisonment he got
many good Norwegian friends and after the liberation, back in Yugoslavia, he was active in the friendship association. I have now lived
the largest part of my life in Norway but still have good relations with my country of origin both through family and friends but also
through several cooperative projects in higher education. My spare time I like to spend together with family and friends chatting,
preparing food, hiking, cycling or skiing. Now, since I become grandpa, I want to spend more time with grandchildren.

Some lines about background regarding education and work:
My Current position is Postdoctoral Fellow at Department of Energy and Process Engineering (NTNU).
Professional experience:
•2009-2010, Assistant researcher at the research unit “Architecture et Climat” (UCL, Belgium) active in the domain of sustainable
architecture. My works was devoted to energy systems with a special interest in heating systems within passive buildings.
•2004-2008, Research engineer at Cenaero, a private research center located in Gosselies (Belgium) and devoted to aeronautical
simulations. I was part of the CFD-Multiphysics group where I mainly worked on unsteady turbulent flows and aeroacoustics.
•2002-2004, Teaching assistant at the Thermodynamic and Energy unit (TERM) from the “Université catholique de Louvain” (UCL,
Belgium).
Education:
•2007, PhD degree at the UCL (Belgium) in the domain of unsteady simulation of turbulent flows, especially Large Eddy Simulation
(LES) in complex geometries.
•2002, Master degree in Electromechanical Engineering specialized in Energy at the UCL (Belgium) .
Some lines about non-professional background:
Before arriving in Norway, I always lived and worked in the south French-spoken part of Belgium, the Walloon Region. This region has
a rich cultural heritage and a beautiful nature, but is, most probably, best known for its fantastic beers admired throughout the world, or
maybe the entire universe. Curious by nature, I lead me to heterogeneous interests like in sport (badminton), outdoor activities (hiking
and travelling by bike) or in art (drawing). I am also interested in good fantastic and science-fiction movies as well as literature. For the
time being, I am struggling to learn cross-country skiing in order to enjoy the incomparable Norwegian nature and way of life.
