There are six main research areas at the division of Applied Thermodynamics and Refrigeration. Each area has its own research team.
Smart and sustainable buildings
Buildings generate nearly 40% of the total direct and indirect CO2 emissions in the world. Studies concerning “production” units of energy, distribution of energy, and end use of it are relevant within this area.
As thermal energy accounts for more than half of the global final energy demands, thermal energy storage is unequivocally a key element in today’s energy systems to fulfill climate targets.
Heat transfer is involved in all thermal processes and the efficiency of the heat transfer is of utmost importance for the efficiency of the process as a whole.
