GHG emission calculation from construction phase of Lia barnehage
(SINTEF Notat;29, Research report, 2018)This report summarises the life cycle assessment methodology used to calculate the GHG emissions from a case study considered under "Utslippsfrie byggeplasser forprosjekt". The greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) of ... -
How Does the European Recovery Target for Construction &Demolition Waste Affect Resource Management?
(Journal article, 2016)The revised EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD) includes a 70 % target for recovery of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. In order to study the potential change in the resource management of the main C&D waste fractions, ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of an Ambitious Renovation of a Norwegian Apartment Building to nZEB Standard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The upgrading of building infrastructure to modern standards represents a key tool for reducing global energy demand and emissions from buildings. In Norway, building upgrades have been prioritized despite the relatively ... -
More than the sum of its parts: Considering interdependencies in the life cycle material flow and environmental assessment of demountable buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)On the long term, buildings could initiate less material flows and have improved environmental performance if they are designed for future disassembly and reuse. However, material flows in the building life cycle are ... -
Parametric Design to Maximize Solar Irradiation and Minimize the Embodied GHG Emissions for a ZEB in Nordic and Mediterranean Climate Zones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This work presents a validated workflow based on an algorithm developed in Grasshopper to parametrically control the building’s shape, by maximizing the solar irradiation incident on the building envelope and minimizing ... -
Parametric design to minimize the embodied GHG emissions in a ZEB
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This work aims to apply parametric design to minimize the embodied greenhouse gas emissions and op- erational energy in a zero emission building in Oslo, Norway. An original generative workflow based on parametric design ... -
A Sustainability Assessment Framework for On-Site and Off-Site Construction Logistics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Urban areas pay increasing attention to new construction and infrastructure works, mainly due to the rapid global rise in urbanisation. In the long run, these works have a positive correlation with the economic and social ...
