25 years of field exposure of pre-cracked concrete beams; combined impact of spacers and cracks on reinforcement corrosion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The state of corrosion of three pre-cracked concrete beams was investigated after 25 years of marine exposure (atmospheric, tidal and submerged). The influence of inadequate plastic spacers was found to overrule the possible ... -
A climate services perspective on Norwegian stormwater-related databases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Floods and stormwater events are the costliest natural catastrophes. Costs are expected to increase due to urbanization and climate change. Mitigation is needed. Different stakeholders with different motivations unfortunately ... -
A Framework for Integrated Sustainability Assessment of Water Cycle Services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A methodology and a framework for integrated sustainability assessment of water cycle services to be used for analysis of strategic options in integrated water management has been developed. The hypothesis was that a ... -
A mechanical and environmental assessment and comparison of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar and steel rebar in concrete beams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper compares holistically the mechanical and environmental performance of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar against conventional steel rebar in concrete beams. This assessment involves material testing ... -
A methodology to improve the performance of PV integrated shading devices using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Solar energy can be exploited efficiently in building façades using building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This study presents a methodology to optimize the design of fixed, parametrically modelled PV integrated shading ... -
A Norwegian zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN) definition and a ZEN key performance indicator (KPI) tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Within the Norwegian Research Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in smart cities, a definition for achieving zero emission neighbourhoods will be developed and tested against nine pilot areas. The ZEN definition ... -
A parametric study of the energy performance and carbon footprint of super-insulation in terrace constructions
(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 ... -
A parametric tool for the assessment of operational energy use, embodied energy and embodied material emissions in building
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Current European legislation calls for the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through better building design and technological solutions, in order to reduce operational energy use, embodied energy and embodied ... -
A probabilistic-based approach for predicting mould growth in timber building envelopes: Comparison of three mould models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper applies a probabilistic-based approach as a methodology to analyze and compare the mould growth computations’ results from three different mould models. This approach, instead of the conventional deterministic ... -
A probabilistic-based methodology for predicting mould growth in façade constructions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Predicting mould growth on façade constructions during design is important for preventing financial loss, and ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Uncertainties in predicting mould growth are related to ... -
A Review of Materials Science Research Pathways and Opportunities for Building Integrated Photovoltaics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) represent a powerful and versatile tool for achieving the ever-increasing demand for energy-efficient and energy-harvesting buildings of the near future. The BIPV systems offer an ... -
A Risk-Based Approach in Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A risk-based approach to support water utilities in terms of defining pipe rehabilitation priorities is presented. In a risk analysis in the risk management process, the probability that a given event will happen and the ... -
A tool for the parametric assessment of operational energy use and embodied GHG emissions in a single-family house concept study
(Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Present day European legislation focuses upon the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in buildings through better design and technological solutions, with a view to reduce operational energy use and embodied GHG ... -
Accelerated Climate Ageing of Building Materials, Components and Structures in the Laboratory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building materials, components and structures have to fulfil many functional demands during the lifetime of a building. Therefore, it is important to require satisfactory durability of these materials, components and ... -
Accelerated climate aging of building materials and their characterization by Fourier transform infrared radiation analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building materials and their durability and ageing are essential to the performance of buildings and their building physical aspects over time. Accelerated climate ageing investigations are carried out in order to study ... -
Acceptable air velocities using demand-controlled ventilation for individual cooling
(Peer reviewed; Conference object; Journal article, 2020)One of the main challenges in highly insulated buildings is the increasing share of energy demand for cooling. New solutions for low energy cooling are needed. Individual cooling by demand-controlled ventilation and use ... -
Activating the potential of decentralized flexibility and energy resources to increase the EV hosting capacity: A case study of a multi-stakeholder local electricity system in Norway
