Building Decarbonisation

Buildings emit to almost 40 % of emissions. Maloo teaches course and practices how to decarbonization of buildings and serve the community.

Practicing Licensed Architect, Inspector , Educator and Reseracher

Building Science and Technology, Biophillia, Ecology and Architecuture, Sustainability and design, Equity, Environment and Design , Women in Arhcitecture and Professional Practice

Building Science core courses - Structures, Environmnetal systems .

The core strength of Building is the structure and its systems. All the courses I teach arweaved with sustainbilty and applications in design .

Ecology and Architecture - Research and Lecturer course

It is the intersection of Ecology with buildings. We explore Biophillia, Urban ecology and Biomimcry.The class is reserch led to see how nature can inform to design healthy buildings and how buildings can be in harmony with nature.

Professional Practice

The core course, which molds the student to the real professional world. The course objective to give the student to be enterprenure and explore ethics . The course also explores the business of Architecuture along with the the law of copywright and professionalism with licensure.

Environmental Justice + decarbonisation

The course will be a new inter-disciplinary course in the College of Engineering and Architecture for architects, engineers, and environmental studies major students. This course is intended to bring principles of environmental justice to empower students with the knowledge, and expertise to be leaders in sustainability. The course aims to put sustainable building practice at the center of environmental health, justice, and social equity. The great Nelson Mandela said” Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” This course will create the Environmental justice by having students of color be leaders in the field of sustainability. There is a vital need for such a course at Howard University, to shape their careers in community as leaders of sustainability. The multi-disciplinary students will address social, economic, and practical methods for building and community design specifically for people of color

Fellow of American Institute of Architects, 2023

Elevated to the Fellows Institute of Architects for the global notable contributions to the architecture profession, a distinction only earned by 3% of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) members. There are currently over 95,000 AIA members nation

ACSA + Columbia Buell Center | 2022 Course Development Prize Winner in Architecture, Climate, and Society

2022 Course Development Prize in Architecture, Climate Change, and Society | Buell Center (columbia.edu)

The Environmental Justice (EJ) + Health + Decarbonization will be a new inter-disciplinary course in the College of Engineering and Architecture, Howard University, for architects, engineers, and environmental studies major students. The course aims to put sustainable building practice at the center of environmental health, justice, and social equity. This course is intended to equip the students with the knowledge of building decarbonization and environmental justice, to be the future leaders in sustainability.

PAVE Educator Award, 2022

Zero Energy Design Designation (ZEDD)

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded its first-ever Zero Energy Design Designation (ZEDD) seal of recognition to Howard University for its Master of Architecture program with an equitable high-performance energy design concentration.

Earned by only 12 collegiate institutions worldwide, this inaugural designation distinguishes post-secondary academic programs that impart the best practices of zero-energy design on students and require them to apply those building science concepts in actual projects. These leading educational programs are recognized by the DOE for preparing tomorrow’s architectural and engineering leaders to design and build the most sustainable buildings possible.

Transformation

Transformation: Educational Architecture Strengthens Communities

This paper documents the ideas that we presented at the Fall 2023 NOMA-Unplugged Conference, in Nashville, TN. In the session, challenged the audience to consider the following thought: Akin to bridges, our public schools might be considered critically important infrastructure. Across the United States and the European Union, they are central to civic life. They create and sustain communities and contribute to continuous improvement

Strategic Methods of Integrating Building science and Design

Strategic methods of Integrating Building Science and Design

This paper questions how can we envision building science and studio courses as a Yin and Yang relationship where one can’t exist without the other? How can the integration lead to more successful understanding of concepts taught in building sci- ence courses? How can the work being done in design studio be used as a teaching tool in the building science courses and vice versa? What are the best practices for achieving this integration?

Building Decarbonization

Building Decarbonization: Theory to Practice; Book Chapter in Teaching Carbon Neutral Design in North America

The chapter examines the development of the course “Building Decarbonization: Theory to Practice” in the accredited degree program at Howard University. The outcomes of the course and its effects within the curriculum and globally are articulated within this chapter. The outreach of future courses will upskill the architectural education and profession to meet the needs of society. The course demonstrates interdisciplinary and multi-institutional collaborations to reshape the architecture curriculum, merging design and performance with climate justice and carbon reduction. This dynamic synthesis creates a robust infrastructure that redefines the potential of academic thinking.
