Research group Energy in Transition
Around one-third of our national energy consumption takes place in buildings for heating, cooling, lighting and electrical equipment. But in spite of all the clever gadgets, innovations and creativity, gas consumption in homes built in 2010 is no lower than in homes from 1995. How can we ensure that sustainability is more than just a slogan or hype? And how can we truly make the entire energy chain sustainable?
The research group is developing knowledge related to the ‘greenification’ of the energy chain in the built environment. Its focus is on system modelling and simulation for energy and indoor climate systems. Models are developed, tested and optimised for practical and educational use and all focus on buildings, greenhouse and otherwise, as well as on energy supply issues in the built environment.

Wind resource characteristics and energy yield for micro wind turbines integrated on noise barriers – An experimental study.
The effect of the noise barrier on the wind flow has been studied. The properties of wind speed magnitude, turbulence intensity are assessed and compared. Additionally, the skew angle is being assessed for its influence on the wind energy yield. Additionally, an energy yield assessment with a wind field rotation sensitivity analysis based on these results has been made for the application of a micro wind turbine installed on top of the noise barrier.
