A mechanical and environmental assessment and comparison of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar and steel rebar in concrete beams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper compares holistically the mechanical and environmental performance of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar against conventional steel rebar in concrete beams. This assessment involves material testing ... -
A parametric tool for the assessment of operational energy use, embodied energy and embodied material emissions in building
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Current European legislation calls for the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through better building design and technological solutions, in order to reduce operational energy use, embodied energy and embodied ... -
A probabilistic-based approach for predicting mould growth in timber building envelopes: Comparison of three mould models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper applies a probabilistic-based approach as a methodology to analyze and compare the mould growth computations’ results from three different mould models. This approach, instead of the conventional deterministic ... -
Advanced transparent facades: market available products and associated challenges in building performance simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The starting point of this study is to provide a non-exhaustive overview of relevant transparent advanced facade technologies available on the market and suited to Nordic climates. A corresponding literature review is ... -
Air-Filled Nanopore Based High-Performance Thermal Insulation Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)State-of-the-art thermal insulation solutions like vacuum insulation panels (VIP) and aerogels have low thermal conductivity, but their drawbacks may make them unable to be the thermal insulation solutions that will ... -
Analysis of reduction of energy demands for Zero Emission Renovated Office Building by using thermal mass and ventilative cooling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Zero emission buildings (ZEB) are characterized by high levels of insulation and air tightness. Powerhouse Kjørbo is the first Zero Emission Renovated Office Building in Norway. In 2013-2014 the building from 1985 underwent ... -
Analysis of the impact resolution has on load matching in the Norwegian context
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generation of energy at building level has an increasing interest in Norway, as in rest of Europe. Load matching is the correlation between the buildings generation and load, which in most cases aims at optimization of the ... -
Balancing competing parameters in search of optimal configurations for a fix louvre blade system with integrated PV
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this paper, a parametric analysis of the configuration of a fix louvre-blade system with integrated PV coating is presented. The study evaluates different exploitations of solar energy focusing on the competing functions ... -
Climate Adaptation Framework for Moisture-resilient Buildings in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In the next decades, buildings and infrastructure will be exposed to significantly different climatic strains than they are today. Still, building standards and design guidelines presuppose use of historic weather data. ... -
Climate adaptation of buildings through MOM- and upgrading - State of the art and research needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study presents an overview of research initiatives and projects addressing climate adaption in management operation and maintenance (MOM) and upgrade of existing buildings. The aim was to identify knowledge needs and ... -
Consequences of energy retrofitting for daylight availability in Norwegian apartments based on measurements and simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Substituting existing windows for highly insulated glazing systems in Norwegian residential buildings may have a strong impact during the winter season due to the reduction of daylight availability. This paper investigates ... -
Consequences of energy retrofitting on the daylight availability in Norwegian apartments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Energy retrofitting solutions applied in residential building envelopes often consist in adding an insulation layer on the building facade and substituting the old windows with better performing ones. Such measures increase ... -
Cost Optimal Retrofitting Of Shopping Malls In Europe
(Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015)The aim of this study was to assess the possible retrofitting actions with a cost-optimal vision for shopping mall managers. Cost optimization was analysed with state-of-the-art evaluation tools, taking initial, operational ... -
