• A parametric study of the energy performance and carbon footprint of super-insulation in terrace constructions 

      Skaar, Christofer; Gaarder, Jørn Emil; Sletnes, Malin (Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Energy requirements for buildings are continually tightened, as seen in the ambitions to introduce near zero-energy building (nZEB) requirements in Norwegian and European building codes from 2020. One consequence of this ...
    • Alkali-reduced Bauxite Residue as Novel SCM 

      Danner, Tobias; Sletnes, Malin; Justnes, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Bauxite residue is a major waste stream available in large volumes globally that can cause risks to the surrounding environment (e.g. ecotoxicity) when disposed and stored by conventional methods. There is yet no large-scale ...
    • Energy Upgrading of Basement ExteriorWalls: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 

      Skaar, Christofer; Gaarder, Jørn Emil; Bunkholt, Nora Schjøth; Sletnes, Malin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Most of today’s buildings will still be in use in 2050 and upgrades should therefore contribute to reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. This paper addresses a challenge for upgrading of basement exterior walls ...

    • Performance and Durability of Adhesive Tapes for Building Applications. From Product Documentation to Scientific Knowledge (and Back Again) 

      Sletnes, Malin; Frank, Susanne Gabriele Martha (Chapter; Conference object, 2020)
      Adhesive tapes are used extensively in both new buildings and renovation projects in order to achieve airtight building envelopes and energy efficient buildings. It is important to be able to reliably predict whether these ...
    • Predominant Climate Exposure Strains - Thermal Degradation Testing Compared to Historical and Future Climate Scenarios 

      Rüther, Petra; Gradeci, Klodian; Sletnes, Malin (Chapter; Conference object, 2020)
      The service life of a building or structure is often presumed to be 60 years. Products used in the building envelope are often covered by a facade material on the exterior side. Hence, the failure of these products is not ...
    • Tetting av bygningskroppen ved bruk av teipprodukter 

      Geving, Stig; Sletnes, Malin; Gullbrekken, Lars; Frank, Susanne Gabriele Martha; Rüther, Petra (SINTEF Fag;102, Research report, 2023)
