A Norwegian ZEB Definition Guideline
(ZEB Project report;29, Research report, 2016)The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive and consistent guideline for the Norwegian definition of Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) and the associated calculation methodologies. The guidelines described in ... -
A Norwegian ZEB-definition embodied emission
(ZEB Project report;17, Research report, 2014)This report deals with how to define what a Zero Emission Building (ZEB) is with explanation and analysis of different parameters related to embodied emissions of CO2 equivalents. The report can be used as a guidance tool ... -
A Norwegian zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN) definition and a ZEN key performance indicator (KPI) tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Within the Norwegian Research Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in smart cities, a definition for achieving zero emission neighbourhoods will be developed and tested against nine pilot areas. The ZEN definition ... -
A Note on Remote Temperature Measurements with DS18B20 Digital Sensors
(Chapter, 2020)Digital temperature sensors provide an attractive means to conveniently record ice and water temperatures in remote locations. Unlike conventional analogue techniques, a digital sensor performs a physical measurement, ... -
A novel bench size model coalescer: Dehydration efficiency of AC fields on water-in-crude-oil emulsions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We describe herein the design of a small AC electrostatic model coalescer for investigating coalescence efficiency of water in oil emulsions. The function of the model coalescer is tested on emulsions with different water ... -
A Novel Method for Continuous, Noninvasive, Cuff-Less Measurement of Blood Pressure: Evaluation in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objective: One promising approach for a continuous, noninvasive, cuff-less ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitor is to measure the pulse wave velocity or the inversely proportional pulse transit time (PTT), based on ... -
A numerical approach to model aggregate restructuring in shear flow using DEM in Lattice‐Boltzmann simulations
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)Aggregate shape and structure significantly impact rheological properties of fluids in many fields such as extractive metallurgy, oil field drilling and mineral processing. The morphology of the aggregates determines the ... -
A numerical evaluation of the effect of the electro‐magnetic force on bubble flow in aluminium smelting process
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper aims to investigate the effect of electromagnetic forces on bubble flow under an anode using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method to capture the gas-liquid interface. ... -
A Numerical Study on Stratified Shear Layers With Relevance to Oil-Boom Failure
(ASME Digital colletion;OMAE2014-23981, Chapter, 2014-06)Interface dynamics of two-phase flow, with relevance for leakage of oil retained by mechanical oil barriers, is studied by means of a 2D lattice-Boltzmann method combined with a phase-field model for interface capturing. ... -
A parametric study of the energy performance and carbon footprint of super-insulation in terrace constructions
(Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Energy requirements for buildings are continually tightened, as seen in the ambitions to introduce near zero-energy building (nZEB) requirements in Norwegian and European building codes from 2020. One consequence of this ... -
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 Perception of the Practice of Software Security and Performance Verification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Security and performance are critical nonfunctional requirements for software systems. Thus, it is crucial to include verification activities during software development to identify defects related to such requirements, ... -
A Practical Approach to an Integrated Citizens' Observatory: The CITI-SENSE Framework.
(Journal article, 2015)The prevalence of research projects that include a focus on Citizens’ Observatories (CO) is on the rise, and this increase has led to many initiatives, most notably ‘Eye on Earth’ which aims to provide a platform which ... -
