Paul Roelofsen
Paul Roelofsen (9 april 1958) is a Dutch Ph.D engineer, senior consultant and scientific associate, specialized in building science.

Biography
Paul Roelofsen is born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the 9th of April in 1958 as the son of Gerda de Lange and Carel Roelofsen. He is raised in Helmond, a town in the south-eastern part of the Netherlands. He followed his secondary education at the National Atheneum (VWO) in Helmond, from which he graduated in 1976. Following this, he studied Architecture, Urban planning and Housing at the Eindhoven University of Technology, specializing in the Physical Aspects of the Built Environment from 1976 until 1983. After graduation, he continued his education through post Bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering (1986), Environment & Noise (1997), Facility Management (2000) and Quality Management (2004).

Paul is a visiting lecturer and occupies various supplementary functions within both his working and tutoring activities. He is also active with various contact groups, related to his expertise in building constructional techniques, and performs several functions for, and within, these groups. He has published in different scientific journals with regard of building science and health within both the indoor environmental engineering field of study as well as the facility management discipline. . The IFMA Award of Excellence for outstanding contributions to the facility management profession was presented to Paul in the USA in 2004 as well as an Award for Building Services Engineering Innovation in the Netherlands in 2007. In 2012 he started his Ph.D at the Delft University of Technology. Having presented and successfully defended a thesis. entitled "Modelling relationships between a comfortable indoor environment, perception and performance change" with attached propositions, both supervised by, prof. dr. P. Vink, in 2016 he has been awarded the Degree of Doctor. He is a senior consultant in the (non-)residential built environment and a part-time scientific associate at the Delft University of Technology.
