      Rasmussen, Freya; Trigaux, D; Alsema, E; Balouktsi, Maria; Birgisdottir, Harpa; Bohne, Rolf André; Dixit, M; Dowdell, D; Francart, N; Frischknecht, Rolf; Foliente, Greg; Lupisek, Antonin; Lutzkendorf, T; Malmqvist, Tove; García Martínez, A; Ouellet-Plamondon, C; Passer, Alexander; Peuportier, B; Ramseier, L; Satola, Daniel; Seo, S; Szalay, Z; Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly being used as a tool by the building industry and actors to assess the global warming potential (GWP) of building activities. In several countries, life cycle based requirements ...
    • High-Performance Nano Insulation Materials for Energy-Efficient Buildings 

      Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Tilset, Bente Gilbu; Gao, Tao; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Løvvik, Ole Martin; Bohne, Rolf André; Alex Mofid, Sohrab; Ng, Serina; Sagvolden, Espen (Lecture, 2017)
      High-performance nano insulation materials (Hi-Per NIM) may be developed by exploiting the Knudsen effect for reduced thermal conductivity and thus make thermal insulation materials with a nanoporous air-filled structure. ...
    • Integrated evaluation of energy and emission reduction potential and management strategies for urban road systems 

      Anastasio, Sara; Wu, Shaopeng; Bohne, Rolf André; Passer, Alexander; Spaun, Sebastian; Kristensen, Terje; Li, Jiashuo; Xie, Jun; Kreiner, Helmuth; Hoff, Inge; Barbieri, Diego Maria; Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Lau, Albert; Amirkhanian, Serji N. (Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Abstract. Solving the problems of high energy consumption and high emissions generated by the urban road systems is of great importance for the construction of low-carbon cities. Several tools have been developed to establish ...
    • Life cycle assessment of roads: Exploring research trends and harmonization challenges 

      Hoxha, Endrit; Vignisdottir, Hrefna Run; Barbieri, Diego Maria; Wang, F.; Bohne, Rolf André; Kristensen, Terje; Passer, A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The transparency, heterogeneity and hypotheses considered in the calculation of the environmental impacts of roads remain as barriers in the identification of low-carbon solutions. To overcome this gap, the study presents ...
    • Parametric Design to Maximize Solar Irradiation and Minimize the Embodied GHG Emissions for a ZEB in Nordic and Mediterranean Climate Zones
