Widespread introduction of low energy buildings (LEBs), passive houses, and zero emission buildings (ZEBs) are national target in Norway. In order to achieve better energy performance in these types of buildings and ...

Generation of energy at building level has an increasing interest in Norway, as in rest of Europe. Load matching is the correlation between the buildings generation and load, which in most cases aims at optimization of the ...

Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) are considered as one of the key elements to meet the Energy Strategy of the European Union. This paper investigates cost-optimal solutions for the energy system design in a ZEB and the subsequent ...

Grey-box models combine a relatively simple physical description of the building with a data-driven inference of key parameters and are often used for this purpose. A challenge with grey-box models is that the model ...

In Nordic climates, the energy use in buildings is dominated by space heating (SH) and domestic hot water (DHW). Heat load measurements with hourly resolution from smart meters are now becoming the standard. However, in ...

This paper presents a model based on dynamic material flow analysis, general in its principles and applied to the dwelling stock of Norway for exemplification. The algorithm at the core of the model is presented in the ...

I Energikommisjonens rapport "Mer av alt – raskere" beskrives et økt behov for fornybar energi til elektrifisering av transport og ny industri for å nå klimamålene, og et ambisiøst mål om energi-effektivisering i byggsektoren ...

Energy efficiency, district heating and heat pumps for reduced power consumption The Norwegian power system is facing enormous challenges in the transition to a fossil-free society. The on-going electrification of transport ...

Energy flexibility in buildings has the potential to reduce the grid burden of neighbourhoods, yet its practical implementation remains limited. This paper presents a data-based case study from Norway, examining the ...
