Peter has been working at RISE (formerly SP Swedish Technical Research Institute) since 2010 with a focus on sustainable buildings and building technology. His main area of work consists of leading and participating in research projects to develop solutions that lead to less environmental impact with low costs from a life cycle perspective. This is supplemented with investigations of specific objects at the request of builders and other stakeholders in the construction industry. Has specialist expertise in energy simulations, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costs (LCC) but works broadly with various sustainability issues focused on buildings.
