(Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Reaching for the Global Sustainability Goals, cities play a prominent role as from a geographical view they are identified as the main area for global emissions. On the other hand, they play a prominent role in putting ... -
Integrating User Needs in Sustainable Neighbourhood Transition of the Smart City – Expanding Knowledge and Insight among Professional Stakeholders
(Chapter, 2021)Climate neutral and social inclusive cities are set high on the European Agenda. The smart city approach is considered to be one measure within socio-technical systems to reach this ambition. In recent years, smart city ... -
Outward drying of basement walls. Documentation of a laboratory experiment
(Klima 2050 Note;136, Notat, 2021)Introduction. In Norway, recommendations for the construction of basement walls changed in 2015. It is now recommended to use vapour-permeable thermal insulation on the exterior side of basement walls to increase outward ... -
The Hybrid-Agile Design of Experiments Methodology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A DOE (Design of Experiments) is the laying out of a detailed experimental plan in advance of doing the experiment. Optimal DOEs maximize the amount of information that can be obtained for a given amount of experimental ... -
Simulating heat load profiles in buildings using mixed effects models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The landscape of buildings is a diverse one and long-term energy system planning requires simulation tools that can capture such diversity. This work proposes a model for simulating the space-heating consumption of buildings ... -
Pitched unventilated wood frame roof with smart vapour barrier – field measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Unventilated wood-frame roofs may provide smaller roof thickness and less material use compared to conventional unventilated roofs with all the thermal insulation above the load bearing structure. Unventilated roofs are, ... -
Reverse Logistics for Improved Circularity in Mass Customization Supply Chains
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)Manufacturing companies that seek to improve circularity performance across the supply chain, face many challenges in the transition of traditional linear approaches into more circular supply chain models. Reverse logistics ... -
Electrochromic Glass system in Norwegian Climate: Control strategies and Impact on the indoor thermal conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This work investigates by simulations the impact of the use of Electrochromic (EC) windows in a modern wooden cabin with large window area in a colder climate. The climatic areas considered are 4 different locations in ... -
Microclimate measurements in ventilated air gaps – instrumentation and first results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)To achieve energy efficient buildings, the requirements for air tightness in Norway were strengthened in the recent years. Thus, the use of tape for tightening connections and overlaps in the wind barrier and vapour barrier ... -
Analysing energy upgrading projects of single-family houses towards a Norwegian nZEB level
