Cooking emissions from typical Norwegian meals: basis for advanced exposure studies
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sustainable urban dwellings are built space-efficient, and open-plan kitchens have increasingly become the norm. A study of newer building projects has shown that the kitchen space is in the inner area of the apartment ... -
Do Carpets Impair Indoor Air Quality and Cause Adverse Health Outcomes: A Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Several earlier studies have shown the presence of more dust and allergens in carpets compared with non-carpeted floors. At the same time, adverse effects of carpeted floors on perceived indoor air quality as well as ... -
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 ... -
Evaluating the Use of Displacement Ventilation for Providing Space Heating in Unoccupied Periods Using Laboratory Experiments, Field Tests and Numerical Simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Displacement ventilation is a proven method of providing conditioned air to enclosed spaces with the aim to deliver good air quality and thermal comfort while reducing the amount of energy required to operate the system. ... -
Holistic methodology to reduce energy use and improve indoor air quality for demand-controlled ventilation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ventilation control logics are usually based on the control indicators of occupancy. However, strategies including control of contaminants not linked to occupancy are requested and more feasible with the introduction in ... -
Indoor climate and energy performance in nearly zero energy day care centers and school buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study presents the assessment of actual indoor climate condition and energy performance in eight NZEB school and daycare centers of NERO H2020 project. Physical parameters such as indoor temperature, relative humidity, ... -
A review of heat recovery technologies and their frost control for residential building ventilation in cold climate regions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study reviewed heat recovery technologies and their application in residential buildings in cold climates. The increasing efforts on reducing building energy use over the recent years have resulted in improved insulated ... -
Temperature-dependent ventilation rates might improve perceived air quality in a demand-controlled ventilation strategy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of the Best Vent project was to find the optimal control strategy for demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) without compromising on indoor air quality. In this paper, we discuss control strategies that would ensure ... -
Use of Membrane Energy Exchanger in Ventilation: Odour Sensory Measurement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Membrane energy exchanger (MEE) for a new generation of energy efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems has attracted wide attention. As MEE has been increasingly employed, extensive studies of ... -
VOC emission rates in newly built and renovated buildings, and the influence of ventilation – a review and meta-analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Few field studies have evaluated ventilation strategies, such as temporarily increasing the ventilation rate, to counter the high pollutant-load from off-gassing of volatile compounds from new materials in these buildings. ...
