Water Vapour Resistance of Ceiling Paints - Implications for the Use of Smart Vapour Barriers in Compact Wooden Roofs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Smart vapour barriers enable building envelopes to dry toward the interior side. This property can be used in compact wooden roofs to create more slender structures by placing the wooden load-bearing elements inside the ... -
Water-Tight IoT–Just Add Security
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The security of IoT-based digital solutions is a critical concern in the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. These solutions are increasingly being used to support the interoperability of critical infrastructure, such ... -
Watertight insertion of heavy sliding doors in exterior walls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The joints around heavy terrace doors are considered a weak point in rain-exposed façades, as it is vulnerable to defects in design and construction. The insertion process of heavy sliding doors is a notable challenge. ... -
When Green Procurement Meets Complexity: The Case of Sustainable Neighborhood Projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In a rapidly urbanizing world, cities form the key context for a sustainable transition. The neighborhood scale is suggested as a successful scale to realize cross-sector, inter-organizational collaborations. The multifaceted ... -
Where and why do firms choose to move? Empirical evidence from Norway
