Kristoffer Negendahl

Kristoffer Negendahl is an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Digital Building Technologies. He holds a Ph.D. in sustainable building design and engineering. His research focuses on developing interoperable tools for sustainable building analysis, energy modeling, daylighting, and lifecycle assessment (LCA), with an emphasis on accessibility for non-experts. Prior to DTU, he worked at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) as lead engineering consultant and co-founded Procedural.build, a software company advancing computational design tools. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and sustainable cities.

**Research Interests**: Consequence-Based Design, integrated dynamic models, parametric design, computational collaborative modeling, and fire safety engineering. Key contributions include advancing parametric modeling for low-emission urban design and defining energy flexibility metrics for building systems.

**Projects**: Leading initiatives like OpenCirc (open-source tools for circular construction) and FireBIM (fire safety engineering via BIM). Supervised PhD students in resilient renovations and BIM automation.

**Awards**: 2023 Bevica Creator Award for contributions to digital design and sustainability tools.

**Activities**: Organized workshops on circular construction and presented at industry events. Media contributions include discussions on parametric design and architectural programming.
