معرفی
Petri Penttinen is a Visitor (Faculty) at Aalto University, affiliated with both the Department of Built Environment and the Real Estate Economics department. He completed his Doctor of Technology in Surveying Engineering on September 25, 2023, with his doctoral thesis focusing on district heating sector collaboration for green transition.
His research expertise spans district heating engineering (100%), energy demand management (100%), real estate economics (100%), seasonal heat storage (66%), and heat production systems (58%). This interdisciplinary work bridges engineering solutions with economic considerations in urban energy systems, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities and climate action.
Penttinen's publication portfolio shows a clear trajectory toward optimizing district heating systems through seasonal storage solutions, waste heat utilization, and smart load management while addressing economic viability against competing heating technologies. His work has gained significant academic attention, with multiple publications receiving citations and policy references.
His professional activities include presentations at major international conferences such as the Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (2019), the International Conference on Smart Energy Systems (2018), and Global District Energy Days (2018), where he has shared insights on topics ranging from spatial planning for waste heat input to sector coupling in smart cities.
