Clara Habib holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture from Notre Dame University Louaize, Lebanon. Her master’s thesis examined thermal comfort in the open spaces of waterfront developments, adopting Waterfront City, Dbayeh as a case study.

Following graduation, Clara pursued a growing interest in sustainable building practices by earning the LEED AP BD+C credential, which strengthened her expertise in green building rating systems. Since 2021, she has served as an architect at Phoenix Green Living, focusing on sustainable wooden frame construction that features eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient strategies.

Additionally, Clara remains deeply committed to continuous professional development in sustainable construction through ongoing research and education courses. At LAU, she currently teaches the Climate and Energy course, which introduces students to the principles of thermal comfort and the integration of environmental considerations into the design process to achieve climate-responsive architecture.
