Performance of Daylight Redirecting Venetian Blinds for Sidelighted Spaces at High Latitudes
Kolås, Tore (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:355, Doctoral thesis, 2013)The main topic of this thesis is daylight in buildings. More specifically, the thesis presents studies on the performance characteristics of venetian blinds used on the interior side of vertical windows. A particular ... -
Pixelization approach for façade integrated coloured photovoltaics-with architectural proposals in city context of Trondheim, Norway
Xiang, Changying; Matusiak, Barbara Szybinska; Røyset, Arne Karstein; Kolås, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Façade integrated photovoltaics (FIPV) is an emerging and essential way to utilize solar energy in built environment. However, there is limited architectural study of FIPV, especially addressing the topic of colour ... -
The Influence of Snow and Ice Coverage on the Energy Generation from Photovoltaic Solar Cells
Andenæs, Erlend; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Ramlo, Kristin; Kolås, Tore; Selj, Josefine Helene Krogh; Foss, Sean Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This literature study examines previous studies of the optical properties of snow, and attempts to tie them together with studies on the effects of shading on photovoltaic solar panels. The study presents some information ...
