Thermal Conductivity of Cement Stabilized Earth Blocks
Zhang, Lei; Gustavsen, Arild; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Yang, Liu; Gao, Tao; Wang, Yu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The present study examines the effect of bulk density and cement content on the thermal conductivity of cement stabilized earth blocks (CSEB). The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity increases as a ... -
Thermal Superinsulation for Building Applications - From Concepts to Experimental Investigations
Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gao, Tao; Sandberg, Linn Ingunn Christie; Tilset, Bente Gilbu; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Gustavsen, Arild (Journal article, 2014)Abstract —The application of traditional thermal insulation materials requires thicker building envelopes in order to satisfy the requirements of the emerging zero energy and zero emission buildings. This work summarizes ... -
Utilization of Aerogel Materials and Systems in the Building Envelopes of Tomorrow
Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gao, Tao (Chapter, 2019)Building envelopes incorporating aerogel materials may exploit miscellaneous properties of the aerogels such as a very low thermal conductivity, lightweight properties due the air-filled low-density aerogel structure, and ... -
Utilization of Size-Tunable Hollow Silica Nanospheres for Building Thermal Insulation Applications
Alex Mofid, Sohrab; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Zhao, Xinpeng; Gao, Tao; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Cunningham, Bridget; Ng, Serina; Yang, Ronggui (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Hollow silica nanospheres (HSNS) have been the subject of intense studies as a possible building block that may successfully bring about nano insulation materials (NIM) with substantially reduced thermal conductivity. The ... -
Utilizing the Knudsen Effect in the Quest for Super Insulation Materials
Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Alex Mofid, Sohrab; Gao, Tao (Chapter, 2018)Initiatives to incorporate energy efficiency measures and strategies in the building sector have gained attention for several decades, and with increased focus on zero energy and zero emission buildings, such initiatives ... -
Wood coating failures against natural and accelerated climates
Gupta, Barun Shankar; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Hovde, Per Jostein; Gao, Tao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Monitoring, assessment and prediction of service life of materials are a serious challenge for the building and construction sector. According to ISO 15686 (2008), laboratory testing must be performed alongside field testing ... -
Wood Facade Materials Ageing Analysis by FTIR Spectroscopy
Gupta, Barun Shankar; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gao, Tao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used in this study to quantify wood degradation. Nine different types of wood materials were studied. All types of wood were exposed in an Atlas solar ...
