The recent building practices have shown that aerogel glazings can be used as a multifunctional building envelope component for different purposes. Nevertheless, the distinctive physical properties and energy performance ...

Development of new building HVAC control algorithms has grown due to needs for energy efficiency and operational flexibility. However, case studies demonstrating new algorithms are largely individualized, making algorithm ...

Knowledge graphs have, for the past decade, been a hot topic both in public and private domains, typically used for large-scale integration and analysis of data using graph-based data models. One of the central concepts ...

In recent decades the construction industry started a rapid digitalisation process resulting in the widely used BIM methodology. Despite developing multiple Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schemas, the interoperability ...

This review brings together research on the integration aspect of photovoltaic technologies in the building sector. Buildings are among the significant contributors of negative, yet not avoidable, environmental impact. Two ...

Denne rapporten er en av hovedleveransene i prosjektet EE Settlement – Embodied Energy, Costs and Traffic in Different Settlement Patterns. Formålet med rapporten er å gi veiledning og anbefalinger som skal hjelpe myndigheter ...

To achieve a sustainable building stock, it is necessary to focus on existing as well as new buildings. New houses built according to the Norwegian building code are close to nZEB (near Zero-Energy Building) level, but ...

After just more than 100 years of history of industrial acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation, patented by Weizmann in the UK in 1915, butanol is again today considered a promising biofuel alternative based on several ...

We present BVR (Base Variability Resolution models), a language developed to fulfill the industrial needs in the safety domain for variability modeling. We show how the industrial needs are in fact quite general and that ...

In most trawl fisheries, drag forces tend to close the meshes in large areas of diamond mesh codends, negatively affecting their selective potential. In the Barents Sea deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, ...
