Tove Lading

Tove Lading is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), located in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. Her research and teaching are centered on sustainable building practices, energy efficiency, and building physics in extreme climates, particularly in Greenland and other Arctic regions.

Her research interests include hygrothermal performance of building envelopes, life cycle assessment (LCA), indoor air quality, and façade systems in cold climates. She investigates how construction practices and design choices affect building durability and energy use in Arctic conditions, often combining field measurements with simulations.

Recent publications reveal a strong focus on real-world building performance in Greenland, including studies on moisture dynamics, thermal losses, and construction errors. Her work frequently employs LCA to evaluate environmental impacts and contributes to sustainable development goals related to climate action and resilient infrastructure.
