Michal Dengusiak achieved his master’s degree in Environmental Engineering at Poznan University of Technology in Poland in 2006. He began his career with Arup, where he attained Chartership status with CIBSE and developed a strong foundation in the Built Environment sector. At BuroHappold Engineering in Berlin and Bath, Michal led discipline development within Building Environments, contributing significantly to the Building and Habitats object Model (BHoM) and ensuring seamless integration across MEP and Building Physics workflows. Michal currently leads Sustainable Analytical Model (SAM) development through his own consultancy, M+J Projekt, providing computational engineering expertise to Hoare Lea. His focus is on creating efficient computational workflows that integrate MEP and specialist disciplines into cohesive Digital Twin solutions. Passionate about innovative approaches to modelling, thermal simulation, parametric design, and BIM workflows, Michal continually enhances project efficiency through advanced calculations and automation. He was awarded two CIBSE Digital Engineering awards in 2018: the Innovation Award for his work on SAM and the Digital Engineer of the Year. Outside work, Michal enjoys beekeeping, badminton, and programming. Product Architect for TASmanianDevil BIM and SAM (Single Analysis Model) Workflow. Regular speaker at BiLT EUR conference. Part of Ladybug Tools - Spider team.

Working for BuroHappold Engineering in both Berlin Bath as a senior engineer, Michał is responsible for implementing innovative SAM (Single Analysis Model) workflow that link BIM with simulation and MEP design. He is leading energy simulation on a number of large projects, performing MEP calculations and design work also testing/implementing new workflows including BIM. He is passionate about creative new approaches to modelling and thermal simulation, adopting parametric design techniques and BIM workflows concentrating on calculations and thereby improving project efficiency. Outside of work, you might find Michał beekeeping, playing badminton, skiing or programming. Dynamo is the latest areas of interest.
Currently I am based in Arup's Berlin office.I was appointed as Mechanical Building Services Engineer. I am carrying LEED, Estidama simulations and CFD studies. During my time with Arup I have completed company's CIBSE accredited training scheme. Initially with Arup I developed skills in numerous software packages including: E+TA, IES and TAS for thermal and daylighting simulation; HevaComp and Cymap for distribution systems sizing; and Revit and CADDuct for 3D drawing. I have also attended many courses and have gained numerous qualifications. These include becoming: a BREEAM Assessor a LEED accredited person; a Low Carbon Consultant (LCC) Design & Management and Simulation; I have been involved with numerous projects of varying sizes and have worked on all stages of projects from bidding and feasibility studies to site supervision. Examples of early involvement in projects include Kvadrat Shopping, Copenhagen Aquarium which I assisted in developing the concept strategy. I have been heavily involved in two projects at scheme design stage. The first was for a large indoor sports arena project. With the experience I gained on this project I was able to create scheme design with very limited supervision for the Chichester College project. Over the course of the last year I have been given the responsibility for the design the complete systems for the Dumfries and Galloway Acute Mental Healthcare Development. This is a £20m new build hospital. I have been responsible for taking the project from feasibility, through market testing and now production of detailed design documents. I work closely with other members of the design team through attendance at design coordination workshops. I have carried out numerous simulations including daylight, thermal comfort study, energy and carbon emissions assessments. I have produced all calculations, have produced equipment specifications and have coordinated the production of drawings.
