معرفی
Virpi Leivo is a Researcher at Tampere University's Department of Built Environment, specializing in civil engineering and building physics. She holds a Master of Science in Technology (1995) from an unspecified university. Her research focuses on building retrofitting, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency in multifamily buildings. She has contributed to over 112 research outputs since 1997, with recent work emphasizing moisture damage mitigation, climate impacts of building remediation, and occupant behavior in retrofitted structures.
Leivo has been actively involved in peer-review activities for journals like Indoor Air and Building Research and Information, and has reviewed conference articles for events such as the International Building Physics Conference. She led the dataset collection for composite beam testing (2024) and contributed to studies on post-retrofit indoor environmental quality. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and sustainable cities.
- Grants: CIMO Grant (2017)
- Labs/Teams: Collaborations with multidisciplinary teams in Finland and Lithuania on building retrofit projects.
