Technical thinking from the field.

Practical articles on building performance, energy engineering and technical advisory — written by engineers, not marketers.

HVAC Engineering

Why cold climate HVAC design is fundamentally different

Buildings in Norrbotten face heating loads that most engineering textbooks treat as edge cases. Here is what actually matters when designing for -30°C.

Energy Analysis

Energy declarations in Sweden — what property owners need to know

The statutory energy performance certificate (energideklaration) is often misunderstood. What it measures, what it does not, and how to use it.

What a technical due diligence report should actually tell you

Most TDD reports describe what they found. Good ones tell you what it costs, when it will fail, and what the risk is if you ignore it.

HVAC Engineering

OVK — the ventilation inspection most Swedish landlords get wrong

Mandatory ventilation control (OVK) is a legal requirement. It is also frequently treated as a box-ticking exercise. It should not be.

Energy Analysis

The real payback on energy optimisation — and how to calculate it properly

Simple payback calculations are misleading. Here is the right framework for evaluating energy efficiency investments in commercial buildings.

Project Management

Why technical installation projects fail — and how to prevent it

The most common failure mode in building installation projects is not technical. It is the gap between what was specified and what was built.

Publishing schedule

First articles are in development.

Each article is written by the engineer who works on these problems directly. Technical, specific and based on real project experience.
