Schools on hold – how simple measures can help improving the indoor environment in schools
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)This work presents the lessons-learned from a Norwegian project called "Skoler på vent" – "Schools on hold" – which is aiming at finding simple and effective measures for improving the indoor climate in schools that have ... -
Robust and reliable deep renovation by advanced prefabricated façade elements. Air-tightness performance and assessment of a demo case
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Deep renovation of the existing building mass is an important task to reach the target of energy efficient buildings and neighbourhood. However, the current renovation rate is only 1% of the European building stock each ... -
Demand-controlled ventilation in schools: Influence of base ventilation rates on subjective symptoms, perceived indoor environment and young adults' learning performance
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)The ventilation airflow rates in a demand-controlled ventilation strategy typically vary between a base (Vmin) and a maximum ventilation rate (Vmax). Classrooms have relatively short but intense hours of occupancy and a ... -
Effect of leaching on the composition of hydration phases during chloride exposure of mortar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Mortar specimens were exposed to either a 3% NaCl solution or a 3% NaCl+KOH solution for up to 180 days. Exposure to the NaCl solution provoked much more leaching than the NaCl+KOH exposure. Leaching strongly impacted the ... -
Nedbryting og forråtnelse av døde mus - Effekt av jord, vann og luft (oksygen) på hastigheten av prosessene
(SINTEF rapport;2021:01465 A, Research report, 2022-01-03)Forråtnelsen av musekadavre ble studert for å avklare betydningen av oksygen, vann og jord for dannelsen av likvoks, en substans som kan dannes i lik og bidra til at likets opp-rinnelige form bevares. Dermed brytes ikke ... -
