Title
Re-advertisement: Digital concepts for building enclosures within a 9R framework for regenerative modular building
Research area and project description
We are looking for an excellent PhD candidate in Building Science to join our innovative research team in regenerative construction. Your focus will be on the hygrothermal performance of building enclosure concepts, integrating HVAC systems, and achieving minimal life-cycle environmental impact. Your research will contribute significantly to realize sustainable construction practices.
You will be associated with the ASCEND project (Advancing Sustainable Circularity for Eco-friendly Net-zero Developments), funded by EU Interreg ÖKS, aims to revolutionize sustainable development. Our research framework centers on the 9R concept for circular economy: Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, and Recycle. Key topics include digitalization and automation in construction, hierarchical approaches in analysis, design, documentation, and construction, and design for disassembly and adaptation. We focus on new buildings as well as renovating, transforming, and retrofitting existing ones. By integrating these strategies, we aim to achieve eco-friendly, net-zero developments that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.
As part of your work, you will collaborate with experts from Aarhus University as well as Lund University, and you will be associated with Aarhus Center for Regenerative Building. The ASCEND project also involves numerous industrial participants from across Scandinavia, providing a rich collaborative environment and practical application opportunities for your research.
Your research will focus on methods for ensuring safe hygrothermal performance, integration of HVAC, and minimization of the life-cycle environmental impact when developing new modular building enclosure concepts. Your work will involve research-based development of new digital tools and techniques in collaboration with experts in other building-related fields. The research will also involve practical experimentation and feedback from the building industry. The results of your work will be shared through publications and conference presentations, contributing to the advancement of building science and regenerative practices.
