Jonas Anund Vogel

Jonas Anund Vogel serves as Director of Dig-IT Lab and co-director of KTH Live-In Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working within the Unit of Applied Thermodynamics and Refrigeration. With dual expertise in technical engineering and social sciences, he bridges industry practice and academic research, earning Sweden's Project Manager of the Year award in 2018 for developing KTH Live-In Lab's complex infrastructure.

His research centers on digitalisation in construction, living lab methodologies, and sustainable building systems, examining how contractual frameworks, digital tools, and user-centered design can reduce environmental impact. Current work addresses innovation barriers in energy efficiency, post-pandemic building design, and governance models for housing cooperatives through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Analysis of his 12 publications (2015-2024) reveals consistent focus on innovation bottlenecks in construction, with recent work emphasizing digital transformation (2024) and living lab applications (2023). His scholarship uniquely integrates technical building systems with social governance aspects, particularly in Swedish multifamily contexts.

Scientific Awards:

• Project Manager of the Year in Sweden (2018)

Vogel manages externally funded initiatives including Dig-IT Lab (Vinnova/KTH/industry partnership), KTH Live-In Lab's full-scale testbeds, and the multi-university Buildings Post Corona project. These involve significant grant acquisition and industry collaboration to prototype sustainable building solutions.

He oversees Dig-IT Lab's digitalisation competence center and KTH Live-In Lab's unique infrastructure, which provides changeable test environments from apartment-scale to building systems. These facilities enable real-world validation of innovations through user databases and cross-sector collaboration platforms.
