Pär Johansson is assistant professor at the Division of Building Technology, research team Building Physics Modelling. Pär works with high performance thermal insulation (superinsulation) materials and materials for heat storage. The aim of his research is to reduce the energy use in the existing building stock while minimizing risks when new materials are used in combination with old building techniques. Vacuum insulation panels (VIP), aerogel based products (ABP) and phase change materials (PCM) are investigated and tested in field and laboratory. Risks when new materials are used in combination with old building techniques are identified by measurements and modelling of temperature, relative humidity, indoor moisture production, and thermal properties of insulation materials and PCMs
