Good Indoor Air and Building Health

Civil Engineering
Faculty of Technology

The role of indoor environmental quality is becoming more important in the era of climate change and global pandemics.

I am developing education and research in the area of good indoor air and building health. Education targets both master and doctoral students. Doctoral candidates can participate in international multidisciplinary research and finding novel solutions to improve indoor environments. Ongoing research is mainly related to studying indoor environmental quality and health in school and residential buildings, and ways to improve it using new technologies.

Research interests

  • Continuous monitoring of indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
  • Assessment of dampness and mold
  • Effects of improved energy efficiency of buildings on IEQ
  • IEQ, occupant health and well-being
