A Norwegian zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN) definition and a ZEN key performance indicator (KPI) tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Within the Norwegian Research Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in smart cities, a definition for achieving zero emission neighbourhoods will be developed and tested against nine pilot areas. The ZEN definition ... -
Analysing electricity demand in neighbourhoods with electricity generation from solar power systems: A case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)An energy management system can be introduced on a neighbourhood level, to achieve energy goals such as increased self-consumption of locally produced energy. In this case-study, electricity generation from photovoltaic ... -
Assessing cities: Applying GIS-based methods for mapping cross-scale spatial indicators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In recent years, several systems and tools to assess energy consumption and carbon emissions at scales beyond that of merely buildings, such as LEED, CASBEE and BREEAM communities have been development. However, reviews ... -
Building Bioclimatic Design in cold climate office buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building Bioclimatic Design (BBCD) understands architecture as a filter between outdoor climate and indoor comfort. This way, it encourages the exploitation of freely available climatic resources, before adding any HVAC ... -
Case study of personal heaters in a Plus energy building – Simulations of potential energy savings and results from a field test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Personal Comfort Systems (PCS) for heating, such as foot warmers, heated chairs and infrared heaters, can compensate for a lowering of up to 10°C in ambient temperatures in a heating situation. They are found to lead to a ... -
Circularity evaluation as guidance for building design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Resource scarcity and global warming call for ambitious strategies in the construction sector to meet the ever-growing demand for indoor spaces with minimal resource consumption and positive environmental impacts. In line ... -
Co-Creation of Positive Energy Blocks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A main challenge in building carbon-neutral built environments is the ability to scale and replicate solutions. We examine how to develop low-carbon neighbourhoods and districts, while aiming at climate-friendly and ... -
Comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions of a high-rise residential building assessed with different national LCA approaches– IEA EBC Annex 72
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: The international research project IEA EBC Annex 72 investigates the life cycle related environmental impacts caused by buildings. The project aims inter alia to harmonise LCA approaches on buildings. Methods: ... -
Embodied emission profiles of building types: Guidance for emission reduction in the early phases of construction projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The embodied emissions of the construction materials in buildings are a significant contributor to climate change but have only rarely been systematically studied by statistical methods. In the early phases of a building ... -
Existing benchmark systems for assessing global warming potential of buildings – Analysis of IEA EBC Annex 72 cases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly being used as a tool by the building industry and actors to assess the global warming potential (GWP) of building activities. In several countries, life cycle based requirements ... -
Facade Integrated Photovoltaic, state of the art of Experimental Methodology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The concept of Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is one of the most promising strategies to employ clean energy in the built environment. Up to now, the PVs have been applied mostly on roofs, but since the total ... -
FutureBuilt Zero - A simplified dynamic LCA method with requirements for low carbon emissions from buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
GHG emission requirements and benchmark values in Norwegian building codes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As a response to the Paris agreement, Norway is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent by 2030. Highly energy-efficient buildings have a greater proportion of embodied GHG emissions from material ... -
Lessons learnt from the design and construction strategies of two Norwegian low emission construction sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Over the last couple of years, research related to fossil free and emission free construction sites has developed rapidly in Norway, with an ambition to contribute towards global, national and regional emission reduction ... -
Life cycle assessment for Zero Emission Buildings – A chronology of the development of a visual, dynamic and integrated approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Current regulations to reduce energy consumption, and GHG emissions from buildings have focused on reducing operational impacts [1] This paper addresses the specific challenge of increasing complexity and decreasing usability ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Recently Constructed “Climate Protection Neighbourhoods” – Which Lessons can be Drawn?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The results of a life cycle assessment of five recently finished housing projects in Northern Germany - all of them part of two certified climate protection neighbourhoods - point out the necessity of combining a variety ... -
Microclimate analysis of a university campus in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate responsive urban design that makes use of passive heating and cooling strategies and enhances pedestrian comfort is a key element to a sustainable society. Knowing the impact of different materials, building ... -
Perimeter blocks in different forms - Aspects of daylight and view
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The perimeter blocks in cities are usually rectangular and follow the streets. The buildings are mostly of similar height within each block. However, perimeter blocks can be developed in many various ... -
Perimeter Blocks in Nordic Towns - How latitude affect daylighting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)One of the design principles for future sustainable towns is compactness. The densification of cities is very much needed, but it usually compromises the access of daylight. Densification is especially challenging in the ... -
