Carmel Margaret Lindkvist

Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Architecture and Planning Faculty of Architecture and Design

I am a Post Doctorate Researcher at the Department of Architectural and Technology at NTNU, and part of NTNU's Smart Cities programme. One of my key areas of interest is on knowledge transfer that occurs (or not) in temporal disconnected practices in construction projects, which is influenced by changes to technology and policy. In my current work, I am drawing on organisation management theories to understand the interplay of practices, clients and end users in the renovation of low energy emission neighbourhoods. Projects include Near Zero Energy Neighbourhood, Collaborating Smart Solar powered Micro-grid and Solar Energy in Urban Planning.

In my previous role at University of Reading, I used case study research approach to examine the handover of digital data from design to operations in large projects such as London 2012 Olympics and other smaller projects. I have also considered the role of BIM as it progresses in projects into facilities management. In my PhD I examined innovation in facilities management through the introduction of RFID in one case study organization using social construction approach. I have an MSc in applied social research methods and a degree in history and sociology.
