Energy flexibility potential of domestic hot water systems in apartment buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Domestic Hot Water (DHW) storage tanks are identified as a main source of flexible energy use in buildings. As a basis for energy management in apartment buildings, this paper describes the aggregated DHW use in a case ... -
Energy Master Planning on neighbourhood level: learnings on stakeholders and constraints from the Norwegian case of Ydalir
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)While energy planning on the building level is characterized by a limited number of stakeholders and a clear ambition setting, this situation changes when expanding to a neighbourhood level. Depending on the context of the ... -
Energy measurements at Skarpnes zero energy homes in Southern Norway: Do the loads match up with the on-site energy production?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Five houses are designed as zero-energy homes in Skarpnes, Norway. The energy goal is to achieve net zero-energy balance on an annual basis. The houses have heat pumps and solar cells (PV). Energy use and delivered energy ... -
Energy Performance, Indoor Air Quality and Comfort in New Nearly Zero Energy Day-care Centres in Northern Climatic Conditions
(Journal article, 2019)The European energy policy pushes the member states to transform building stock into nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB). This paper is focused on data collected from existing nZEB day-care centres,in order to be able to ... -
Energy Performances of Tensile Material in Building Renovation in the Nordic Region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Tensile materials are increasingly used in the building envelope as second-skin systems, despite a lack of investigation on their effects. In this work, a second-skin system integrating a tensile material as an outer layer ... -
Energy profiles and electricity flexibility potential in apartment buildings with electric vehicles – A Norwegian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Energy flexibility in buildings has the potential to reduce the grid burden of neighbourhoods, yet its practical implementation remains limited. This paper presents a data-based case study from Norway, examining the ... -
