About
Shalini Ramesh acts as the Senior Director on the Client Success - Product & Programs Team at the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). As a subject matter expert, she focuses on providing clear and comprehensive information to help Fortune 500 organizations apply WELL strategies to their portfolio. She oversees the program development and maintenance of WELL Ratings and renewal of WELL programs. Shalini also serves as the market development lead for India and the industrial and senior living sectors.
Prior to IWBI, Shalini conducted research for the development of a building energy management tool including analyzing industry trends and refining key performance indicators. She also developed an integration sample for conducting parametric building energy/cost analysis. Shalini earned her PhD in Building Performance and Diagnostics from the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University. Her dissertation explores the impact of the urban microclimate on building energy consumption. Shalini has presented her work at various conferences. Her research has been published as a book chapter in Building Information Modeling by Karen M. Kensek and Douglas E. Noble. Her PhD research builds on her Master’s in Landscape Architecture from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and Bachelor of Architecture from Visvesvaraya Technological University in India.
