Michael Nii Addy is a senior lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. Michael is currently a senior research associate at the Sustainable Human Settlement and Construction Research Centre at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa. He holds a Ph.D. in Building Technology from KNUST and a Master of Science in Building Services Engineering from Loughborough University, UK. His areas of specialisation include building energy modelling, thermal comfort, building performance measurements and digital construction. His studies focus more on emerging countries particularly in Africa and explores the unique characteristics affecting sustainable development. He has served as a reviewer for several national and international journals and conferences. His global experience in building technology and training includes working as a visiting academic at Loughborough University, UK, and Linnaeus University, Sweden.

Clinton Aigbavboa, a distinguished professor and scholar with over 18 years of experience in the Built Environment and Construction sectors, is a professor of Sustainable Construction Digitalisation & Construction Industry Research at the University of Johannesburg. He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Management, a Master's in Construction Management, and certifications in Good Governance and Artificial Intelligence from MIT. He has authored 39 research books, co-authored 12 edited books, and published over 1000 accredited journal articles and conference papers. As the director of the Sustainable Human Settlement and Construction Research Centre and an acting director of the South Africa Research Chair for Sustainable Construction Management, Prof. Aigbavboa has graduated over 230 Master's and 90 Ph.D. students. His research interests include Construction 4.0, smart cities, sustainable human development, and digitalisation in construction. Prof. Aigbavboa's extensive expertise, leadership roles, and prolific publication record make him ideally suited to author the proposed book on Decarbonization of building energy in Developing Countries: Pathways for Demand side management in developing economies.

Titus Ebenezer Kwofie is a chartered architect by profession and a senior lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi Ghana.
