Senior Lecturer, Technology Doctor
Research subject: Energy Systems
Research area: Indoor environment and energy in buildings
About the researcher
My research mainly concerns air quality, ventilation, indoor climate and building energy. The studies usually involve the processes of dispersion of gaseous and particulate contaminants, and finding effecient methods to improve indoor air quality. The focus is often on human health, comfort and performance, but a major interest is also in building energy and its connection with thermal comfort and building preservation. The research is performed both in laboratory and in the field, and, when applicable, involveshuman subjects.
I mainly teach measurement methods, energy systems, indoor climate and scientific writing. Occasionally, I also teach thermodynamics, heat transfer, building energy systems and building physics.
- Energy saving and preservation in historical buildings: ventilation, climate control and surface soiling.
- Local exhaust ventilation – measuring pollutant capture efficiency and effects of room air turbulence.
- Airborne pollen allergens – their size, distribution and transport to indoor air.
- Prudent energy management in churches: ventilation, climate control and coating.
- Ventilation for decreased exposure to particles and allergens in classrooms.
