Athanasia Kloura

Sustainability Consultant

<p>I am a sustainability consultant at NNE, specializing in optimizing pharmaceutical facility projects and integrating sustainability into complex environments that enhance patient well-being. My work focuses on analyzing indoor environmental conditions, daylight and building performance. Prior to joining NNE, I worked as a student assistant at MicroShade, where I contributed to sustainability tasks through technical analysis and simulations. Driven by my interest in human-centered design, my thesis explored how daylight metrics and user experience intersect by developing a predictive model for daylight satisfaction that combines real-time illuminance measurements with subjective evaluations.</p>
