Built Environment Energy Systems Group (BEESG)
The Built Environment Energy Systems Group at the Division of Solid State Physics conducts interdisciplinary research on systems questions related to the application of emerging energy technology in the built environment.
The group is part of the Energy Systems Programme, a national Swedish research programme and research school that acts as an interdisciplinary forum for researchers in technology, social science and behavioural science. The goal of the programme is to develop multifaceted knowledge that favours the creation of sustainable and effective energy systems.
In Uppsala, the work is focused on energy systems in buildings and the built environment and spans a wide range of subjects and methods, from materials research to simulations, model development and socio-technical analysis of energy systems. Examples of research topics are application of solar heating, interdisciplinary development of energy demand models for buildings, systems questions related to the integration of distributed photovoltaics in the Swedish electricity system and systems analysis of low-energy housing.
