Building Performance in a complex and changing world: a personal website with perspectives, position papers and research in the areas of building science, building performance simulation, measurement and monitoring, energy efficiency, artificial intelligence, and a critical reflection on academic research and publishing in general.

The website at www.bldg-perf.org was originally started to support my book Building Performance Analysis published with Wiley-Blackwell in 2018). Over the years it has slowly migrated into a standard academic web presence, with (boring?) details like my publication list. As of fall 2026 I am redeveloping it more like a discussion site, with a range of opinion and position papers coming. I encourage discussion and look forward to see how this new set-up fares in the future.

A first Perspective Paper is now uploaded. The topic is a call to action to get professors (or in fact, any senior academic) to please do at least some reviewing for the field. The paper is highly actual, since our journal Advanced Engineering Informatics just went past the 10000 submissions this year, and it is very difficult to get decent reviews. You can read the perspective piece online or download it as PDF from the Perspectives page.
