HybE - Hybrid Energy Solutions

HybE is a five-year (2022–2026) research program, that seeks to develop solutions for the successful implementation of buildings' emission cutbacks in every stage of the life cycle of the building, from the definition stage of the planning and building of the project to the usage and maintenance stage.

The research will be implemented through doctoral research and through shorter, year long, research sprints. The research subjects deal with practical construction industry themes and are decided together with the researchers and the company partners.

Energy efficient buildings are an important part in climate change prevention. Energy efficient solutions require ever more complicated building technical systems, whose actualization and usage has new challenges. In practice, the buildings planned to be energy efficient often do not reach the set goals.
