About B3
Building technology, building materials and building physics at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.
A connected approach to the built environment
B3 is a research group in the Department of Built Environment at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design (TKD). We investigate the relationships between materials, building systems, climate exposure, resource use and indoor environments.
Our work combines experimental testing, monitoring, numerical simulation and digital methods. Life cycle assessment and cost analysis support decisions about materials, design, operation and rehabilitation.
The group is led by Professor Mahdi Kioumarsi, with Associate Professor Haidar Hosamo as co-lead.
