Personal profile

Research

My research focuses on water damage caused by building installation systems, such as tapwater and wastewater systems, heating systems, equipment, and indoor waterproofing membranes. This includes analyzing the occurrence, causes, costs, and effects of water damage in Sweden and internationally. I earned my Licentiate of Engineering in 2023, concluding a previous Formas-funded project titled:

Reducing water damage costs in buildings by an holistic approach to technology, users and risks

From May 2024, my colleagues and I will be working on an SBUF project in collaboration with AB Rörläggaren and Säker Vatten AB:

Improving Sustainability by Reducing Water Damage - A Holistic Perspective on Sustainability, Causes, and Effects

The results of this project will contribute to increased knowledge in the areas of sustainability, operation, and maintenance. Additionally, it will provide insights into climate and environmental impacts associated with water damage in various building types and spaces. The project promotes greater sustainability through measures such as reduced material and resource use, enhanced circular construction practices, and improved indoor environmental quality.
