معرفی
Martin Winther-Gaasvig is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. His academic work focuses on building energy, indoor climate, and sustainable construction practices. He holds a Master's degree in Building Energy and Indoor Environment from the Technical University of Denmark and is a certified DGNB Consultant.
His educational background includes:
- Msc Eng, Technical University of Denmark (2014-2020): Master of Building Energy and Indoor Environment
- Certified DGNB Consultant, Green Building Council Denmark (2017)
- Certified Energy Consultant, Danish Energy Agency (2007)
- Bsc Eng Hon, Engineering College of Odense (2000): Civil Engineering with specialty in building installations
Winther-Gaasvig's research spans building physics with emphasis on hygrothermal performance of building envelopes, sustainable construction materials, and energy-efficient ventilation systems. His work integrates practical engineering experience with academic research, particularly in natural building materials, moisture management in structures, and renewable energy applications in buildings. He has contributed significantly to understanding microventilation systems and developing innovative cooling solutions using phase-change materials.
His scientific achievements include the Willemoes Prize, recognizing his contributions to sustainable building research and education. He has served on various committees including the Danish HVAC Society Educational working group and the advisory board for Teaching for the Future – Teaching in sustainability.
As an educator, he has supervised approximately 30 BSc and MSc students and teaches courses including Heating Transfer and Building Energy, Hydraulics, Ventilation and Indoor Environment, and Dynamic Simulation of Building Energy. His pedagogical approach emphasizes practical examples, industry connections through guest lectures and site visits, and active learning techniques.
Winther-Gaasvig leads significant research projects including HYG (Hygrothermal Performance of Exterior Walls), NEGEV (Next Generation Ventilation), and the Energy Pavilion, which serves as both a teaching and research platform for testing different construction methods and renewable energy systems.
