• The Hybrid-Agile Design of Experiments Methodology 

      Gradeci, Klodian; Sletnes, Malin (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 ...
    • Towards emission free construction sites in Northern Norway: Results from a regional survey 

      Høyli, Randulf; Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth; Homaei, Shabnam; Fufa, Selamawit Mamo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The concept of emission free construction sites (EFCS) has emerged as a prioritised measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Norwegian construction activities. EFCS have been evaluated through several pilot projects ...
    • Validation of decomposition models for solar irradiance at high latitudes: A preliminary study 

      Manni, Mattia; Nocente, Alessandro; Skeie, Kristian; Bellmann, Martin Pawel; Lobaccaro, Gabriele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The accurate estimation of buildings' solar potential contributes to boost the exploitation of solar energy at high latitudes. The decomposition of global irradiation into the direct and diffuse fractions is a fundamental ...
    • Watertight insertion of heavy sliding doors in exterior walls 

      Andenæs, Erlend; Raugstad, Torill; Strid, Jonas; Gullbrekken, Lars; Kvande, Tore (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. ...
    • Wind-driven rain tightness of building-integrated photovoltaics panels 

      Moschetti, Roberta; Gullbrekken, Lars; Asphaug, Silje Kathrin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The exposure to wind-driven rain (WDR) is a key factor impacting the performance and the durability of the building envelope. Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels are increasingly used as roofing and façade ...
    • The ZEB Laboratory: the development of a research tool for future climate adapted zero emission buildings 

      Nocente, Alessandro; Time, Berit; Mathisen, Hans Martin; Kvande, Tore; Gustavsen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The building sector is responsible for approximately 40 % of the energy consumption and carbon emissions worldwide. Buildings of the future will have to comply not only with stricter energy regulations, but they will also ...
