What we do

Indoor climate is the goal, energy is the means. 

We work with sustainable energy supply and use which provide safe, healthy, and comfortable indoor environment in zero emission buildings and neighbourhoods.


Research activity

Our vision is to advance the knowledge and methodologies of building services for heating, cooling, ventilation and sanitation for a better life. Our approach is based on multidisciplinary knowledge integration combining modelling, simulation and experimental work. We apply advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and information and communication technology.

Our mission is to support innovation of the national industry, to contribute to the international academic research and to educate high quality engineers and researchers in the field of Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Sanitation (HVACS).

Our varied activities can be organized into the following areas:

  • Energy supply and use in buildings
  • Indoor climate
  • Ventilation engineering
  • Building automation and control
