Cost Optimal Design of ZEN’s Energy System: Model Presentation and Case Study on Evenstad
(Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Energy System Optimization : ISESO 2018, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2019)Zero Emission Neighborhoods (ZEN) is a concept studied in particular in the research center on ZEN in smart cities in Norway to reduce the CO2 emissions of neighborhoods. One question coming along this concept is how to ... -
Coupling the cross-entropy with the line sampling method for risk-based design optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)An algorithm for risk-based optimization (RO) of engineering systems is proposed, which couples the Cross-entropy (CE) optimization method with the Line Sampling (LS) reliability method. The CE-LS algorithm relies on the ... -
Identifying Suitable Bioeconomic Cluster Sites—Combining GIS-MCDA and Operational Research Methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A transition to a bioeconomy implies an increased focus on efficient and sustainable use of biological resources. A common, but often neglected feature of these resources is their location dependence. To optimize their ... -
Optimizing the configuration of a façade module for office buildings by means of integrated thermal and lighting simulations in a total energy perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The building enclosure plays a relevant role in the management of the energy flows in buildings and in the exploitation of solar energy at a building scale. An optimized configuration of the façade can contribute to reduce ... -
The potential of decision support systems for more sustainable and intelligent constructions: a short overview
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Up to now, the performance-based concept has been very rarely extended from engineering phase to other phases within the building process. To achieve more sustainable and more intelligent constructions, the construction ...
