Coupling Field Observations and Geographical Information System (GIS)-Based Analysis for Improved Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) Performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Urbanization and increased precipitation volumes and intensities due to climate change add pressure to the urban drainage system, resulting in increased flooding frequencies of urban areas and deteriorating water quality ... -
From Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) to Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN): A Mapping Review of Algorithm-Based LCA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The building industry is responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU). The most efficient way of reducing a building’s environmental impact is ... -
Multi‐Stage Validation of a Solar Irradiance Model Chain: An Application at High Latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Evaluating how the sources of uncertainty in solar modelling (e.g., input parameters, developed model chain) can influence the results’ accuracy is one of the main challenges when applied at high latitudes. In this study, ... -
Regional aspects of a climate and energy tax reform in Norway – exploring double and multiple dividends
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigate the potential for double or even multiple dividends arising from a climate and energy tax reform (CETR), using a regional computable general equilibrium model. Such dividends indicate if government revenues ... -
