Subject
Building Physics.

Subject description
The subject covers all aspects of building physics with an understanding of the connection between theoretical and applied processes and problem-solving in heat balances, energy transport, air and moisture transport through building compo­nents, critical humidity levels in building envelope, boundary conditions and meas­urement technology in the field of building physics.

The research includes leading the development of new building components and buildings as well as renovation of existing buildings so that they obtain a good in­door environment while being sustainable and robust to the effects of climate change, giving little climate impact and minimizing the need for energy with both passive and active methods.

Models and collaborations need to be developed to connect buildings and sur­rounding technical systems, especially concerning climate change, to broaden the subject area.
