    • Building-Integrated Photovoltaics from Products to System Integration - A Critical Review 

      Fedorova, Anna; Hrynyszyn, Bozena Dorota; Jelle, Bjørn Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This review brings together research on the integration aspect of photovoltaic technologies in the building sector. Buildings are among the significant contributors of negative, yet not avoidable, environmental impact. Two ...

    • Characterization of heat load profiles in buildings and their impact on demand side flexibility 

      Walnum, Harald Taxt; Alonso, Maria Justo; Clauß, John; Lindberg, Karen Byskov (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A data set of heat load measurements for 197 buildings from different building categories (apartment blocks, hotels, nursing homes, offices and schools), have been analysed to evaluate the potential for peak shaving. A ...

    • Demand-controlled ventilation: do different user groups require different CO2-setpoints? 

      Haugland, Martine Borgen; Yang, Aileen; Holøs, Sverre Bjørn; Thunshelle, Kari; Mysen, Mads (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The aim of this study is to investigate whether children's bioeffluent generation rate is proportional to their carbon dioxide (CO2) generation rate. Consequently, to assess if there is a need to differentiate the CO2- ...

    • Effect of ventilation on perceived air quality in 18 classrooms 

      Holøs, Sverre Bjørn; Yang, Aileen; Thunshelle, Kari; Mysen, Mads (Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The aim of this paper is to assess whether reducing the minimum ventilation airflow rate (Vmin) has any negative impacts on perceived air quality (PAQ) upon entering an unoccupied room. Seventeen healthy young adults were ...

    • Energy consumption for domestic hot water use in Norwegian hotels and nursing homes 

      Walnum, Harald Taxt; Sørensen, Åse Lekang; Ludvigsen, Bjørn; Ivanko, Dmytro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Domestic Hot Water (DHW) production constitutes a significant proportion of the energy demand of modern buildings, and as the building envelope is improved the share increases. This article discusses the results from a ...

    • Heat analysis for energy management in neighbourhoods: case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway 

      Sørensen, Åse Lekang; Lindberg, Karen Byskov; Walnum, Harald Taxt; Sartori, Igor; Aakenes, Ulf Roar; Andresen, Inger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      As a basis for energy management in apartment blocks, this paper characterises heat use in a large housing cooperative in Norway, with in total 1,058 apartments. Heat measurements with hourly resolution are available from ...

    • Is it possible to achieve waste free construction sites in Norway? 

      Fufa, Selamawit Mamo; Venås, Christoffer; Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The construction industry is one of the world's largest consumers of energy (ca. 40%) and natural resources (ca. 40%). Norwegian statistical data shows that waste from construction, rehabilitation and demolition is steadily ...

    • Lessons learned after one-year of use of a highly efficient neighbourhood in Norway 

      Alonso, Maria Justo; Line, T.; Næss, Erling; Ramstad, Randi Kalskin; Breuhaus, Peter Helmut Herbert; Midttømme, Kirsti (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      2020Park is an innovative installation in Stavanger, Norway. This installation provides heating and cooling via a ground source heat pump (GSHP). The system combines eight 220m deep boreholes, with an air to brine heat ...
