Ülevaade
Teadustöö temaatika: (1) ehitatud keskkond, linna- ja regionaalplaneering; (2) kogukondlik areng, linna- ja maa-asustuse majanduslikult ökonoomne taaskasutamine ja ümberkujundamine; (3) kultuuripärandi konserveerimine linnaplaneerimisel ning ajaloolistel maastikel ning parkides; (4) pruunalade taaskasutus; (5) ajalooliste hoonete uurimine; (6) ehitusmaterjalid, sisekliima, ehitusfüüsikalised ja energiatõhususe aspektid; (7) betooni taaskasutamise võimalused uue betooni tootmiseks; (8) küber-füüsikalised süsteemid hoonete ja linna- ning regionaalplaneerimise teenistuses. Teemad on aktuaalsed linnaplaneerimise valdkonnas ning aitavad lahendada probleeme küberfüüsikaliste süsteemide rakendamisega ehituses, tööstuses ja muudes eluvaldkondades.

Tähtsamad tulemused
2024. aasta tulemused: Uurimisrühm osales Euroopa Komisjoni poolt rahastatava Horisondi projekti eMotional Cities täitmises, milles uuritakse kuidas neuroteaduste ja linnaplaneerimise ühendamisel saadavad teadmised saavad panustada kogukondade ruumilisse planeerimisse, mis toetaks rahvatervist, sh parandaks vaimset tervist ja heaolu. Uuriti lubjapõhise termokrohvi veeimavust. Leiti, et silaani lisamisega saab vähendada lubjapõhise termokrohvi veeimavust kordades. See tulemus võimaldab edaspidi valida sobivat toodet sõltuvalt vajadusest - siseruumi või fassaadile.
