Alaa Khadra serves as an Associate Senior Lecturer in the Construction Technology department within the School of Information and Engineering at Dalarna University. Her teaching responsibilities include coordinating the courses Energy-Efficient Buildings and Resource-Efficient Construction, focusing on sustainable practices for Nordic building environments.
Her research spans sustainable construction methodologies, life cycle assessment of building materials, and environmental-economic evaluation of energy-efficient renovation strategies. She investigates decision-making frameworks for multi-family building retrofits in district-heated systems, emphasizing structural innovations using reclaimed concrete and timber to minimize ecological footprints while maintaining economic viability.
Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in quantifying greenhouse gas reductions, material reuse efficiency, and systemic impacts of HVAC retrofits across urban energy networks. Her work consistently bridges building-scale interventions with broader urban sustainability goals, particularly in Nordic climate contexts where district heating dominates residential energy systems.
