Meet the Student Assistants at the SBE Research Area
Student assistants are an integral part of the Sustainable Built Environments research area. Currently completing their Master’s degrees, Johan Blomsterberg, Djamila Mamedova, and Arvid Hall support our research in energy-efficient building renovation, data management, and spatial data visualisation. We sat down to talk to Johan, Djamila and Arvid about their backgrounds and the specific projects…

Interview with Jieming
This week, we sat down with Jieming Yan, SBE’s most recent PhD candidate. Jieming’s research explores how mixed reality can support better communication of building performance simulation results to inform sustainable decision-making. Jieming is supervised by Alexander Hollberg and Sanjay Somanath with funding from the Digital Twin Cities Centre. First of all, congratulations on your…

From Architecture to Machine Learning: Xinyue Wang on Making Early-Stage Energy Optimisation Practical
What if predicting building energy demand did not require long simulation runs, heavy workflows, or massive datasets? Xinyue Wang recently defended her PhD, “Leveraging Machine Learning to Improve Early-stage Building Energy Optimization.” Originally trained as an architect, her research sits at the intersection of building energy simulation and machine learning. Her work focuses on making…

Interview: Reduction Roadmaps and Climate Limit-Values in Construction
As the construction sector works to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, one tool is rapidly gaining importance: limit-values that define how much climate impact new buildings are allowed to have. Across the Nordic countries, governments and industrial actors are developing their own versions of such limit-values, but they are doing so using very different methods. In their recent CISBAT…
