Coloured Building Integrated Photovoltaics: Influence on Energy Efficiency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has attracted increased commercial interest in recent years due to a growing focus on efficient utilization of land area and local renewable energy generation. Aesthetic aspects ... -
Comfort Assessment of Two nZEBs in Norway
(Journal article, 2019)This work presents the results of a survey and measurement campaign carried on in two wooden buildings in Trondeim, Norway. These are one tower in a student accommodation complex, the Moholt Allmenning, constituted by five ... -
Compact wood frame roofs with built-in-moisture
(Prosjektrapport (SINTEF Byggforsk);38, Research report, 2009) -
Compact wooden roofs with smart vapour barrier – Pilot project experiences
(Peer reviewed; Conference object; Journal article, 2020)Compact roofs are normally built without organic materials between the vapour barrier and the roof membrane due to moisture safety risks. However, laboratory measurements indicate that organic materials could be used ... -
Comparative analysis of the sound conditions at the neonatal intensive care units of two Norwegian hospitals
(Chapter, 2024)Excessive sound levels of preterm infants may contribute to negative physiological effects. Yet, recommended sound level limits are consistently exceeded at neonatal intensive care units (NICU), both inside and outside of ... -
A comparative assessment of building sustainability schemes in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Various schemes are established to evaluate the sustainability of buildings during their life cycle. These schemes introduce a range of evaluation criteria and indicators and are periodically revised to align with current ... -
Comparative Assessment of the Carbon Footprint of on-site and off-site Wall Element Constructions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Off-site construction is considered as environmentally preferable to on-site due to the controlled environment for planning and production before assembly in the construction site. However, evaluating the actual environmental ... -
A comparative assessment of the development of GHG emission criteria and benchmark values for buildings in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)GHG emission criteria and benchmark values for buildings are being developed internationally to meet climate goals in the Paris agreement. However, there is a distinct lack of harmonisation in approaches making it difficult ... -
Comparative field tests of an electrochromic shading device - thermal and visual comfort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Electrochromic devices (EC), or Smart Windows, are amongst the most promising technologies to increase users' wellbeing in buildings. A comparative test of EC windows performance was realised in the ZEB Test Cell Laboratory ... -
Comparing Embodied GHG Emissions between Environmental Product Declaration and Generic Data Models: Case of the ZEB Laboratory in Trondheim, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The article aims to document and compare the embodied GHG emissions from the construction of the ZEB Laboratory in Trondheim, Norway. The process is of key importance because embodied emissions in Norway constitute the ... -
Comparing Model Projections with Reality: Experiences from Modelling Building Stock Energy Use in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Projections of future energy use in buildings are a crucial tool in the tracking and attainment of political targets for energy efficiency and climate gas mitigation. In this article, a new methodology for projecting both ... -
Comparing user acceptance of integrated and retrofit driver assistance systems – A real-traffic study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The path towards a transport system with fully automated vehicles entails a transitioning period where manual and automated vehicles will coexist in traffic for many years. To realize the many suggested benefits of automated ... -
