Sustainable Architecture
The research group for Sustainable Architecture consist of
researchers whose main interest is sustainable architec-
ture encompassing environmental and social aspects.

The research group is producing new research knowledge
on environmental sustainable architecture and the design
of resilient zero emission and plus energy buildings. We
have a holistic approach to designing buildings and aim
for integrated design processes where technical, aes-
thetics and environmental parameters, and well-being
aspects are in play from the beginning
to end. The research group has in
the past years established knowhow
to fulfil the societal, national and
international climate goals for 2030
– 50 for the built environment. Our re-
search also focus on climate
change design and design for extreme
climates towards contemporary
and modern Nordic high architectur-
al quality designs. The researchers
are addressing the relation between
architecture, health and well-being,
producing new knowledge on how to
design optimal architectural environ-
ments for users in general and for
specific vulnerable user-groups.
