This paper reviews research literature on the subject of the potential role of green-blue roofs within a Nordic urban environment, to find potential implications for stormwater handling of research carried out and knowledge ...

Ulike impregneringsmidler benyttes for å bedre regnmotstandsevnen til teglmurverk, men effekten er sårbar med tanke på riss og andre svakheter i murverket. Forsøk utført i SINTEF sitt slagregnskap viser at ingen av de ...

SINTEF har gjennomført et prosjekt med hovedmål å kartlegge praksis, kunnskapsnivå og kunnskapsbehov hos aktører som jobber med anskaffelse, prosjektering og utførelse av bygninger med bygningsintegrerte solceller (BIPV). ...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the basic criteria, trends, applications, and developments related to climate adaptation in building maintenance and operation management (MOM) practices in Norway. Investigations conducted ...

Compact roofs are normally built without organic materials between the vapour barrier and the roof membrane due to moisture safety risks. However, laboratory measurements indicate that organic materials could be used ...

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) with Rendering are widely used in both rehabilitation and new building projects, even in areas with harsh climates such as the western regions of Norway. However, we ...

Use of solar cells (PV) and solar collectors are key remedies in buildings where a large part of the energy supply should be based on renewable energy. The aim of this work has been to evaluate calculated and measured solar ...

This article analyses adaptation to climate induced challenges in form of torrential rains hitting urban landscapes in Norway with increased frequency. Specifically, it investigates the influence of the industry structure ...

To reduce loads on urban drainage systems and facilitate local infiltration of stormwater, it is desired to lead runoff water from roofs through external drains and into the local soil. However, in cold climates, situations ...
