I am a senior researcher in wood building technology and a project leader developing wood constructions in various areas, mainly outdoor exposed wood such as facades and facade systems. Now, the focus is on circular flow and how to design to reuse wood. Has studied water absorption in wood with CT scan (computed tomography) and imaging analysis

DUET - Circular Design and Use of Wood Building Elements

We are advancing toward a net-zero emissions future by producing high-quality construction elements made from industrial wood residues and underutilised forest resources of unclassified origin — paving the way for a more sustainab…

Biogenic Carbon Flows with a Focus on the Wood Industry

There is a great need to increase knowledge and fundamental understanding of biogenic carbon flows and where there is potential for increased resource efficiency. The purpose of the area analysis is to describe the biogenic carbon…

FÅTT- Refinement of reused wood through technology development

Reuse is important for the transformation to sustainable community development. The project will investigate the process of refining reused wood into a high-quality facade material as a component in an industrially manufactured wo…

New construction products from industrial wood waste and recycled wood

Another step is being taken towards a net-zero emissions future. High-value new construction products made from recycled wood and industrial wood waste residues are being developed. Alternative circular processes are being studied…

The future of design - reusing wooden houses in a circular economy

What will the future of construction look like? How can the currently linear value chain for housing construction become circular? Can industrially produced wooden houses be the answer and contribute to a shift towards a more circ…

Attractive climate-smart renovation with wooden facade

An industrially manufactured innovative facade system for sustainable renovation for the ROT sector is under development. The goal is a system that is easy for architects to use through a digitized design process in the design and…

Reuse of Wood

Extending the lifespan of wood products and enabling reuse is crucial for a circular and resource-efficient construction and wood industry. RISE offers consulting, inventory, quality assurance, and knowledge dissemination to help …

Carbon sequestration

RISE provides expert knowledge on life cykel analysis and calculation of carbon sequestration potential for long-life wooden buildings and biochar. Biochar provides a long-term carbon sink and the material can be used as soil impr…
