Analysing energy upgrading projects of single-family houses towards a Norwegian nZEB level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)As the existing building stock is responsible for high energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, energy upgrading projects have been acknowledged as crucial for the energy performance improvement of existing buildings, as ... -
A chronological development of a framework for emission free construction sites in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The building and construction sector is responsible for 3.4% of total GHG emissions in Norway. Around 95% of these emissions arise from the combustion of fossil fuels for the operation of construction machinery and transport. ... -
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 ... -
A Conceptual Model for Automation of Small Ports
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For large ports and terminals, the loading and discharge operations have to a great extent been automated already. However, for the vast number of small ports, for instance all Norwegian ports, this large-scale automation ... -
Design for Disassembly (DfD) in construction industry: a literature mapping and analysis of the existing designs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A systematic search of scientific literature on the topic of Design for Disassembly (DfD) in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry was performed with a special focus on study cases. The results ... -
Development of climatic damage predictive tool for timber facade moisture-related damage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Development of the method for automated and adaptive assessment of mould growth in the timber frame facade is presented. A heat, air, and moisture (HAM) transport simulation using the open-source Python library HAMOPY is ... -
Development of smart control system for leakage warning in compact roofs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Smart Sensor technologies to monitor temperature and moisture conditions in building components, can be used to give automatic warnings for abnormal high levels of moisture. Flat compact roofs are of particular interest, ... -
Effect of demand-controlled ventilation strategies on indoor air pollutants in a classroom: A Norwegian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The choice of the minimum ventilation rate (Vmin) in a demand-controlled ventilation strategy can influence energy demand but also introduce outdoor air pollutants. The latter may have direct health effects, as well as ... -
Electrochromic Glass system in Norwegian Climate: Control strategies and Impact on the indoor thermal conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This work investigates by simulations the impact of the use of Electrochromic (EC) windows in a modern wooden cabin with large window area in a colder climate. The climatic areas considered are 4 different locations in ... -
Global Transformer Architecture for Indoor Room Temperature Forecasting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A thorough regulation of building energy systems translates in relevant energy savings and in a better comfort for the occupants. Algorithms to predict the thermal state of a building on a certain time horizon with a good ... -
A mapping of electric construction machinery and electric construction sites in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Norwegian construction industry is responsible for ca. 2.2 million tonnes CO2eq in 2021. The rise in GHG emissions, noise and air pollution in the built environment is becoming a potential hazard due to the large growth ... -
Microclimate measurements in ventilated air gaps – instrumentation and first results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)To achieve energy efficient buildings, the requirements for air tightness in Norway were strengthened in the recent years. Thus, the use of tape for tightening connections and overlaps in the wind barrier and vapour barrier ... -
Moisture safety strategy for construction of CLT structures in a coastal Nordic climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)To reduce the carbon impact of new buildings, wood is seeing increased use as a structural material. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated wood (glulam) elements allow the construction of multi-storey buildings. ... -
NTNU-SINTEF SolarNet: A solar irradiation monitoring network at high latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study presents a monitoring network for solar irradiation at high latitudes, called NTNU-SINTEF SolarNet. The network collects, with a time resolution ranging from seconds to hours, solar irradiance data, e.g. global ... -
Offshore Wind: Employment and value creation of EPCI exports in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The objective of this study is to investigate the value creation potential and the employment effects for the offshore wind engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) sector in Norway up to 2030 considering ... -
Pitched unventilated wood frame roof with smart vapour barrier – field measurements
