Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti (Fed)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti is a supervisory research engineer in the Mechanical Systems and Controls Group of the Energy and Environment Division (EED) of the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Natascha originally joined the Division as a mechanical engineer within the Mechanical Systems and controls group in 1995 and has extensive experience conducting laboratory tests and works with both national and international stakeholders and standards-making organizations.
Her current research is in two areas: 1) building commissioning for improved grid reliability and 2) characterizing pressure loss in modern plumbing to improve system performance. She has worked on several projects in the areas of building commissioning and fault detection and diagnostics, including two International Energy Agency research projects- one of which she led. She is a creator of the HVAC-Cx software to enable both on-going performance monitoring of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment. Natascha is currently leading a project to quantify the pressure vs flow relationship in premise plumbing.
Natascha Milesi Ferretti is a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). She currently serves as Chair of the Research Advisory Committee. She is past Chair of ASHRAE TC 7.5 Smart Building Systems. Natascha has served as a voting member of Guideline Project Committee 1.2 and is a corresponding member of Building Commissioning (TC 7.9).
