معرفی
Søren Aggerholm serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Construction, Urban and Environmental Engineering at Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science. His work centers on building regulatory frameworks, energy performance standards, and sustainable construction methodologies, with particular emphasis on life cycle assessment and carbon impact quantification in the built environment.
His research spans Building Regulations development, Energy Performance Requirements optimization, and Life Cycle Assessment implementation, focusing on practical applications for cost-effective energy efficiency and carbon reduction. Key contributions include establishing limit values for greenhouse gas emissions in new constructions and renovations, developing cost-optimal energy performance levels for Danish Building Regulations, and advancing European sustainability standards through Level(s) framework development.
Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward operationalizing climate impact metrics in building regulations, with increasing focus on whole-life carbon accounting for both new builds and renovations. His work consistently bridges theoretical research with regulatory implementation, addressing European Parliament mandates while adapting solutions to Nordic contexts.
Scientific recognition includes:
- ROCKWOOL Prisen 2017 for sustainable building research contributions
Aggerholm actively leads and participates in major research initiatives including the European Parliament-mandated cost-optimal level updates and Danish Building Regulations modernization. His projects frequently involve cross-institutional collaboration with entities like the Danish Building Research Institute (SBi), focusing on practical regulatory implementation and industry adoption.
He maintains significant professional engagement through 85+ activities including conference organization (e.g., 'Future perspectives for sustainable construction in the EU and Denmark'), technical seminars on Building Regulations 2010, and media commentary addressing industry challenges like rigid regulations hindering innovation and expanding energy labeling to include moisture/noise parameters.
