Moon Keun Kim

Moon Keun Kim is a Professor in the Department of Building and Energy Engineering at Oslo Metropolitan University, Faculty of Technology, Art and Design. He is actively engaged in research on sustainable built environments, energy efficiency in buildings, and the application of artificial intelligence for energy prediction and HVAC optimization. He is affiliated with the Sustainable Built Environment (SustainaBuilt) research group.

His research interests span building energy systems, indoor air quality, ventilation technologies, and climate-adaptive building design. He applies advanced data-driven methods such as LSTM and artificial neural networks to model and predict energy consumption in residential, commercial, and campus buildings. His work also extends to integrated energy systems, radiant cooling, hydrogen blending, and carbon trading mechanisms for urban energy planning.

The recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward using artificial intelligence and machine learning for optimizing building energy performance. Topics include data normalization in neural networks, multi-objective optimization of energy systems, and comprehensive reviews on AI in HVAC. His work bridges engineering fundamentals with sustainability goals, particularly in Nordic and climate-sensitive environments.
