Jesper Kragh

Jesper Kragh serves as a Senior Researcher at Aalborg University's Department of Construction, Urban and Environmental Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Science. His work focuses on sustainable building practices with particular expertise in energy consumption analysis, environmental impact assessment (LCA), indoor climate optimization, and Legionella prevention in building systems.

His research interests span Energy Consumption, Life Cycle Assessment, Indoor Climate, Ventilation Systems, and Legionella Prevention, with strong connections to building regulations and energy labeling schemes. His work integrates government consulting, academic research, and practical implementation in the Danish building sector.

His publication trends reveal consistent focus on building sustainability, with recent articles emphasizing energy renovation economics, water system optimization, and carbon footprint reduction in construction. The 2023-2025 publications demonstrate increasing emphasis on data-driven approaches and regulatory compliance frameworks.

Professional activities include active participation in technical committees including DS/S-316 (Heating and Cooling Systems), DS/S-313 (Ventilation in Buildings), and DS/S-314 (Water Supply), where he contributed to national standard development from 2020-2024.

His media engagement demonstrates strong science communication, with 16 press appearances since 2019 addressing topics like energy renovation benefits, ventilation challenges in multi-story housing, and demolition patterns in Danish construction. Current projects through 2027 focus on Legionella prevention, sustainable ventilation solutions, and updating generic data for building regulations.
