B3 · OsloMet research group

Building research for a sustainable future

Building technology, building materials and building physics.

We connect material experiments, building physics and digital methods to improve the design, operation and rehabilitation of buildings and infrastructure.

B3 brings together building technology, building materials and building physics at OsloMet’s Department of Built Environment. Our five research areas are building physics and climate adaptation; decarbonisation and circularity; rehabilitation and heritage; materials and characterisation; and digital twins, AI and IoT.

We connect experiments, sensing, monitoring, BIM, simulation and machine learning. The group includes Mahdi Kioumarsi, Dimitrios Kraniotis, Haidar Hosamo, Sarra Drissi and Christian Nordahl Rolfsen. Research projects, publications, teaching, student research and international partnerships connect our work with engineering practice.
