Active Research Projects

 

SAFR-BE

The SAFR-BE project is carried out in collaborationb between the LTH Division of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE)and the LTH Division of Energy and Building Design (EBD). It explores the challenges of achieving sustainable and fire-resilient buildings, and decision-making processes that help to achieve such buildings.

 

oBtoB

 

The oBtoB project, short for "openBIM to BEM", is a project running in collaboration between LTH (Lund) and KTH (Stockholm). It is embedded in IEA Annex 91 on "OpenBim for Energy Efficient Buildings". It addresses the challenges in the BIM to BEM processes covering early design, technical design, and post-occupancy building operation. The work will center on serveral real-life- industry case studies that require building energy efficiency prediction and assessment throughout their life cycle. Anticipated results include processes, guidelines, best practices and instructions for the conservation of energy for buildings designed in an openBIM environment. Integration amongst the serveral aspects of this research will enable a deeper understanding of the discrepacy between estimated and actual building performance, for new and refurbished buildings.
