Martin Kotol

Martin Kotol is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he focuses on energy systems and building services within cold and arctic climates. His work bridges engineering solutions with sustainability goals, particularly in the context of Greenlandic housing and infrastructure.

His research interests include energy efficiency, indoor air quality, ventilation systems, and thermal comfort in buildings under extreme climatic conditions. These areas are central to sustainable urban development and contribute directly to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities and climate action.

The trend in his recent publications shows a strong emphasis on building performance in Greenland, with detailed studies on ventilation, energy demand, and indoor climate. His work combines field measurements, energy modeling, and practical implementation strategies for modern and renovated dwellings.

Martin Kotol is actively leading and contributing to research projects focused on sustainable building practices, including the development of performance evaluation methods for mechanical ventilation in Greenlandic homes and the integration of wireless sensor networks in building monitoring.

He has collaborated extensively with researchers at DTU and beyond, and his work has been published in journals such as Journal of Building Engineering, Procedia Engineering, and Journal of Cold Regions Engineering. His research is supported by active grants and institutional funding.

Martin Kotol is affiliated with DTU Construct, a research group dedicated to sustainable construction and building technologies. His team works on real-world applications in arctic environments, focusing on resilient and energy-efficient building envelopes and HVAC systems.
