Group leader for research in building technology and urban planning. The research is usually applied and done in close collaboration with the industry in the region. The research areas include sustainable construction and urban development, energy-efficient renovation, life cycle analysis, industrial wood construction, and healthy indoor climate. An example is the project “Dalarnas villa” - our own research villa - where various sustainable solutions are tested.
