      Houlihan Wiberg, Aoife Anne Marie; Georges, Laurent; Fufa, Selamawit Mamo; Risholt, Birgit Dagrun; Good, Clara Stina (ZEB Project report;21, Research report, 2015)
      This report presents the results from a sensitivity analysis regarding the influence of using emission data from Norwegian EPD’s instead of the generic data from Ecoinvent, using different CO2eq-factors (for electricity ...
    • Embodied greenhouse gas emissions from PV systems in Norwegian residential Zero Emission Pilot Buildings 

      Kristjansdottir, Torhildur; Good, Clara Stina; Inman, Marianne Rose; Schlanbusch, Reidun Dahl; Andresen, Inger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the combustion of fossil energy need to be reduced to combat global climate change. For zero energy and Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB), photovoltaic solar energy systems are often installed. ...
    • Optimization of thermal insulation thickness pertaining to embodied and operational GHG emissions in cold climates – Future and present cases 

      Gaarder, Jørn Emil; Friis, Naja Kastrup; Larsen, Ingrid Sølverud; Time, Berit; Møller, Eva B.; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Determining the optimal insulation thickness is useful for designing zero-emission buildings (ZEB) to minimize the environmental impacts. The energy required to heat buildings in cold climates is relatively high. Substantial ...
