Christian Anker Hviid

Christian Anker Hviid is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in energy-efficient building services, HVAC systems, and sustainable building operation. He is actively engaged in research projects focused on digital twins, BIM integration, and data-driven modeling for building performance optimization.

Research Interests: His work centers on improving energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality in buildings. Key areas include optimal building operation, commissioning, fault detection, and control of building services. He integrates physical modeling with semantic web technologies and data analytics to develop intelligent, interoperable systems for building management.

Publication Trends: Recent publications emphasize the integration of BIM and Modelica simulations, semantic web-based management of HVAC data, and grey-box modeling for performance benchmarking and virtual sensing. These works reflect a strong focus on practical, data-enabled tools for real-world building systems, particularly in office and residential contexts.
