R&D activ­ities

Expertise in wood construction, low-carbon construction and digit­al­isation

In research and devel­opment activ­ities (R&D) related to wood construction, we concen­trate on wood and wood-based fibre materials and their use in construction. Low-carbon construction R&D activ­ities aims to explore possib­il­ities to reduce the emissions of the building sector trough the life cycle assessment. Building inform­ation modelling and its´ applic­a­tions in maintenance of buildings are the main themes in R&D activ­ities related digit­al­isation of the construction sector.

All R&D activ­ities are imple­mented in cooper­ation with local companies and other national and inter­na­tional partners. Karelia UAS has coordinated the Intel­ligent Energy Europe and Northern Periphery Programme projects and parti­cipated in several NPP, IEE, FP7, CIP, LLP and EC DG E&I projects. Karelia UAS is also a member of the EIP Smart Cities and Communities and the European Network of Living Labs.
