in the mechanical power department at Cairo University. He is the author and co-author of several international researches in HVAC
field. He has many years of experience in delivering courses in air-conditioning to University, college students, to building managers and maintenance staff in both the industrial and commercial sectors in Egypt
, the Arabian countries and worldwide.
He has been selected by various universities and international organisations to lecture to graduate and post graduate level engineers, managers, supervisors and operating personnel on the subjects of HVAC
design and optimisation, HVAC
system management, energy utilization, waste heat recovery, plant management and other related subjects.
Khalil is ASME, AIAA and ASHRAE active fellow and is an ASHRAE distinguished lecturer on two topics; Ventilation of tombs of valley of kings and
Design of air conditioning systems for surgical operating theatres. The tombs include King Tutankh Amen, Ramses VII , Amhotep, Horemoheb, Ramses IV,V as well as Bay. It also includes the design of Air conditioning of the Hanging Church of Christ in Cairo.
Khalil is also the chairman of National HVAC
Committee in Egypt, member of the National Energy Code Committee of Egypt and the chair of HVAC
sub-group. He is a registered HVAC
consultant and the president of the Arab Air Conditioning Code Committee. Khalil is the Convenor of ISO TC205 WG2 (Design of Energy Efficient Buildings) and is an active member of ISO TC163 Committee. He is the Chairman of Consulting Engineering Bureau, CEB.
Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cairo University in December 1973. In February 1977 he was able to achieve his Ph.D.
degree in Mechanical Engineering at London University, Imperial College of Science and Technology, UK.
As an ambitious young Egyptian Ph.D. student he decided to go deeper in science and knowledge. In 1977, the same year he achieved his Ph.D., he acquired a Diploma of Imperial College
at London University and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Imperial College, London with the Support of United Kingdom Atomic Energy Research Establishment Harwell.
