    • A zero emission concept analysis of a single family house 

      Dokka, Tor Helge; Houlihan Wiberg, Aoife Anne Marie; Georges, Laurent; Mellegård, Sofie Elisabet; Time, Berit; Haase, Matthias; Maltha, Mette Maren; Lien, Anne Gunnarshaug (ZEB Project report;9, Research report, 2013)
      The main aim of the work has been to do modeling and calculations of the energy use, embodied emission and the total CO2-emission for a typical Norwegian residential building. By doing this we try to reveal and study the ...
    • Cooling of PV panels by natural convection 

      Misiopecki, Cezary; Gustavsen, Arild; Time, Berit (ZEB Project report;6, Research report, 2012)
      Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) is an important source of renewable energy production for Zero Emission Buildings, even in Norwegian climate. In the planned Powerhouse 1 building at Brattøra in Trondheim the idea ...
    • Field Measurements – Heat Pump Systems in NZEB 

      Stene, Jørn; Alonso, Maria Justo (ZEB Project report;27, Research report, 2016)
      The IEA Heat Pump Programme (HPP) Annex 40 "Heat Pump Concepts for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings" deals with the application of heat pumps as core component of the HVAC system for Nearly or Net Zero energy buildings (NZEB). ...
    • Greenhouse gas balances in Zero Emission Buildings – Electricity conversion factors revisited 

      Andresen, Inger; Lien, Kristian Myklebust; Berker, Thomas; Sartori, Igor (ZEB Project report;37, Research report, 2017)
      Reduction of energy use and GHG emissions in the building sector is a high priority. The EU 2050 roadmap that was established in 2010, states that to achieve a global warming of less than 2°C in this century, Europe should ...
    • User evaluation of vacuum insulation in clay blocks 

      Hauge, Åshild Lappegard; Godbolt, Åsne Lund; Thomsen, Judith; Berker, Thomas; Time, Berit; Hyrve, Oddvar (ZEB Project report;12, Research report, 2013)
      This is an early user test of vacuum insulation embedded in clay blocks, a solution developed within ZEB. The product is in an early stage of its development and is not taken into use in any building projects yet. Therefore, ...
