To achieve the green transition, the role and function of biomass must be developed further than it is today. The Power Bio project will support the green transition through cross-border market innovation. The project is financed by Interreg Øresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak, Region Sjælland and project partners. The Danish-Swedish Power Bio project will promote the green transition by increasing the sec

Division of Building Physics The Division of Building Physics will start working on a large European project, called COLLECTiEF, together with thirteen other institutes from six European countries. COLLECTiEF was approved with a top rank in a very competitive H2020 call, B4E, and a score of 15 out of 15. In COLLECTiEF we are going to implement, test and qualify an energy management platform based

Gender, Disasters and Climate RiskThe ChallengeWith risks posed by extreme weather events and climate change placed on top spots on the list of Global risks, response and adaptation is a challenge. The challenge arises due to the differential and unequal capacities to respond both pre-and post-disaster phase. One of the major components is the unequal capacities in terms of availability and access

Building Materials at Lund University does research and teaching on the materials that are used in the construction sector. The goal of our research is to study and understand processes in materials. For many years, two main areas of research have been durability of concrete and moisture problems related to construction materials. We also work in other fields, for example building biology, durabil

This is a very broad research field that involves several aspects of the impacts of climate variability and climate change on hydrology. It includes food production, hydro-electricity production, and hydrological pressures connected to climate in several parts of the world. It has been a research field at the Division for more than 20 years.AreasModelling the Coupling between Climate and Hydrology

Water is at the core of many of today’s most pressing environmental and societal challenges, from managing floods and droughts to securing sustainable agricultural production under a changing climate. Reliable observation, monitoring, and prediction of hydrological processes are therefore critical for ensuring water security and resilience of societies. In recent years, the rapid growth of satelli

A large proportion of our freshwater resources are hidden under the soil surface. Our research focuses on protecting groundwater resources. Subsurface water is normally of good quality, but also vulnerable due to contamination risks. Soil moisture dynamics are important in agricultural production. We conduct research, mainly in arid areas in China and North Africa, on irrigation techniques and soi

Building Physics is a division within the Department of Building and Environmental Technology. The Division of Building Physics studies how heat, moisture and air are distributed and transported through building components and within buildings. The research results are used to develop and connect individual materials to building components, such as foundations, exterior walls, windows, roofs and t

A wetland is an ecosystem that is flooded by water either permanently or seasonally. Wetlands play a number of roles including water purification, water storage, processing of carbon and other nutrients, and support of plants and animals. Wetlands are the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. In comparison, a constructed wetland is an artificial wetland system treating municipal or industri

Building Services Engineering includes the interactions of the technical installations with people, operations and climate. The Division of Building Services conducts research and training in technical installations with regards to function, indoor environment, energy use and resource use. Our main area is the installations in buildings. Oher types of spaces can also be included, such as vehicles,

Construction Management is an applied, interdisciplinary subject dealing with the management of the construction process from idea to reuse. The construction process refers to the circular process that includes the various stages of construction: procurement, design, production, management, rebuilding, renovation and dismantling in an overall perspective. Central issues are how the cooperation bet

In Water Resources Engineering, research is pursued on how water resides and is transported in nature and in urban systems. Studies are carried out on the movement of rainwater through land and foundations, how rain and melted snow reach rivers, flooding and the design of systems to reduce the consequences of flooding, as well as on how water flows, the spread of pollutants, and erosion along open

Buildings account for a significant amount of the total energy use in Sweden. Aside from requiring a lot of energy and environmental impact to construct, they have continual energy needs throughout their lifespan. Our work is focused on creating energy-efficient buildings and neighbourhoods with a low environmental impact. Some of the focus areas are the utilisation of passive solar energy through
