Khaled Mansy graduated with a Ph.D. in architecture, with honors, from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, 2001. Master of Architectural Engineering, Helwan University, 1992. Bachelor of Architectural Engineering, Cairo University, 1984. Professor Mansy is the recipient of the National Science Foundation grant to build the artificial sky dome that is now housed in the Daylighting Laboratory at OSU. The lab is available to students, faculty and professional architects. Amongst other merit awards, Mansy was the recipient of the 'Certificate of Honors,' in recognition of the highest standards of academic achievement from the Graduate College, Illinois Institute of Technology, 2001, and the 'Certificate of Merit,' for initial research and process, Leading Edge Design Competition, 1999. He provides peer-review for research papers submitted to international journals, such as Energy and Buildings, Building and Environment, and Construction and Building Materials. He provided technical review to the US Department of Energy, The European Union, and King Fahd University, KSA. He also provided peer review to national and international conferences, such as, ARCC 2013, ARCC 2014, ACSA 2012, DCA 2012, Solar 2011, ASHEE 2011, ACSA 2008, PLEA 2007, Housing Symposium III, Saudi Arabia (2007); and Greenbuild International Conference 2005 and 2006.

Integrative Design, Building Systems for Architects and Architectural Engineers helps students envision the interconnections between different building systems. Rather than presenting systems one at a time as is traditionally done, the book approaches building systems by following the real-world sequence of the design process. This begins with pre-design analysis followed by schematic design and finishes with design development. Section one deals with urban and suburban site analysis and design, as well as climate, time and magnetic declination. Section two addresses building form and envelope design, specifically considerations for life safety codes, energy conservation and roof design. It also covers floor planning with emphasis on systems planning. Section three is devoted to design development including environmental control systems, and service systems design and coordination. The organization of the text complements the design process, enabling success in the classroom and design studio and a smoother transition to the professional world. This book can be used in any course that addresses the integrative design requirement of the National Architectural Accrediting Board.
