About SERC
Fostering over 40 years of energy research, Dalarna University has established a new interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to energy. The mission of the Sustainable Energy Research Centre (SERC) is to promote interdisciplinary research in the field of energy and support industry and public stakeholders to successfully accomplish a sustainable and inclusive energy transition.
The centre incorporates research from the different research environments, including Energy and Built Environment, Data Science, Industrial Engineering, Economy, and Social Sciences.
The acronym for the new research centre, SERC, was chosen as a tribute to the legacy of the Solar Energy Research Center, our original research centre dedicated to solar energy, established in 1984.
Researchers at SERC are involved in several EU projects that focus on the incorporation of solar energy systems in the renovation of residential and office buildings, the integration of solar thermal systems in district-heating networks, and the use of solar heat pump systems in single-family houses.
