Vlatko Milic

Assistant Professor

I am passionate about developing energy system solutions that are both cost-effective and sustainable. Working with these questions is central to my role as researcher and teacher. My goal is to disseminate knowledge for a more sustainable future. 

Digitisation, AI and energy efficiency

I am a postdoc at the Division of Energy Systems. The energy savings potential in Swedish buildings built before 1945 was topic of my doctoral thesis.

My PhD thesis focused on the techno-economic energy renovation of residential areas built before 1945. During my research studies, I used a range of different methods, such as simulation of buildings energy, life cycle cost optimisation and the development of power signatures to calculate the energy performance of buildings.

Today, I mainly work with digitisation and AI for the energy efficiency of data centers and control of hydro power plants. I also conduct research in energy-efficient climate control of greenhouses.

In addition to my research, I teach from undergraduate to graduate level.

How to energy renovate older residential buildings

A new strategy for the energy renovation of older residential buildings would open opportunities to save energy and money, while reducing impact on the climate. The current guidelines do not take enough consideration of the type of house.
