Analysis of the impact resolution has on load matching in the Norwegian context
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generation of energy at building level has an increasing interest in Norway, as in rest of Europe. Load matching is the correlation between the buildings generation and load, which in most cases aims at optimization of the ... -
Application of ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy to Compare the Cell Materials of Wood Decay Fungi with Wood Mould Fungi
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Wood fungi create vast damage among standing trees and all types of wood materials. The objectives of this study are to (a) characterize the cell materials of two major wood decay fungi (Basidiomycota), namely, Trametes ... -
Application of machine learning to the identification of quick and highly sensitive clays from cone penetration tests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Geotechnical classification is vital for site characterization and geotechnical design. Field tests such as the cone penetration test with pore water pressure measurement (CPTu) are widespread because they represent a ... -
Application of physics-informed neural networks to inverse problems in unsaturated groundwater flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper investigates the application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to inverse problems in unsaturated groundwater flow. PINNs are applied to the types of unsaturated groundwater flow problems modelled with ... -
Approaches to Social Innovation in Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)—A Comparison of Norwegian Projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Positive Energy District (PED) concept is a localized city and district level response to the challenges of greenhouse gas emission reduction and energy transition. With the Strategic Energy Transition (SET) Plan aiming ... -
Approaches, technologies and importance of analysis of the number of train travellers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Several studies have pointed to the difficulties of obtaining good data on train ridership. This paper is a literature review on how the number of travellers on trains are measured, including technologies and practices for ... -
ASR assessment - concrete prism testing within a regulatory framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The experience of ASR and ASR testing varies substantially across Europe and outside. Several testing procedures exist but are not always linked to service life records. Also, the European concrete standard on this issue ... -
Assessing the impact of employing machine learning-based baseline load prediction pipelines with sliding-window training scheme on offered flexibility estimation for different building categories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The present study is focused on assessing the impact of the performance of baseline load prediction pipelines on the estimation (by the grid operator) accuracy of the flexibility offered by different categories of buildings. ... -
Assessing the indoor air quality and their predictor variable in 21 home offices during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this study, concentrations of pollutants: formaldehyde, carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and parameters: indoor room temperature and relative humidity (RH) were measured in 21 home offices ... -
Assessment of carbon dioxide emissions during production, construction and use stages of asphalt pavements
