• The Effect of Repeated Moisture Cycles on the Air Tightness of Traditional Clamped Vapour Barrier Joints 

      Geving, Stig; Norvik, Øyvind; Gullbrekken, Lars (Journal article, 2019)
      In this study it has been investigated whether and to what extent, repeated moisture cycles affect the airleakage through clamped overlap joints in the vapour barrier layer. Use of clamped joints is a traditionalway to ...
    • Vapour resistance of wind barrier tape: Laboratory measurements and hygrothermal performance implications 

      Johnsen, Ida-Helene; Andenæs, Erlend; Gullbrekken, Lars; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In the building industry, the interest into adhesive tape to achieve a more tight and robust building envelope has increased rapidly in recent years. With an increasing demand for energy efficiency in buildings, national ...
    • Ventilated wooden roofs: Influence of local weather conditions-measurements 

      Gullbrekken, Lars; Kvande, Tore; Time, Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This study investigates the influence of temperature and air velocity conditions on ventilation and condensation in spring, summer and autumn periods inside a ventilated cavity in a full-scale wooden roof construction. The ...
    • Watertight insertion of heavy sliding doors in exterior walls 

      Andenæs, Erlend; Raugstad, Torill; Strid, Jonas; Gullbrekken, Lars; Kvande, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The joints around heavy terrace doors are considered a weak point in rain-exposed façades, as it is vulnerable to defects in design and construction. The insertion process of heavy sliding doors is a notable challenge. ...
    • Wind pressure coefficients for roof ventilation purposes 

      Gullbrekken, Lars; Uvsløkk, Sivert; Kvande, Tore; Pettersson, Kaj; Time, Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Wind pressure coefficients (cp) are important inputs for analytical calculations of wind load. The aim of this research is to investigate wind pressure coefficients on a test house located in Norway in order to pave the ...
