(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)A global "urban roller coaster"? Connectivity changes in the world city network, 2000–2004, Regional Studies. A network model is used to assess the nature of change in intercity relations from 2000 to 2004. Data are collected ... -
A holistic approach to assess the exploitation of renewable energy sources for design interventions in the early design phases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study presents a holistic approach applied to assess the exploitation of renewable energy sources for design interventions in the early design phases in a consolidated urban environment. Concerning the cooling season, ... -
A Measurement-Driven Approach to Understand Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Nordic Cities
(Journal article, 2016)Cities are main drivers for climate change mitigation and emission reduction today. However, in many cases they lack reliable baselines of emissions to validate current developments over time, assess the impact of their ... -
A Methodological Analysis Approach to Assess Solar Energy Potential at the Neighborhood Scale
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Rapid and uncontrolled urbanization is continuously increasing buildings’ energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In this scenario, solar energy integrated into the built environment can play ... -
A Methodological Approach to Assess the Climatic Potential of Natural Ventilation Through Façades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Due to the rapid development of super insulated and airtight buildings, the energy requirement for mechanical ventilation is becoming more and more dominant in today’s highly efficient buildings. In this scenario, natural ... -
A Methodology for Long-Term Monitoring of Climate Change Impacts on Historic Buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A new methodology for long-term monitoring of climate change impacts on historic buildings and interiors has been developed. This paper proposes a generic framework for how monitoring programs can be developed and describes ... -
A methodology to improve the performance of PV integrated shading devices using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Solar energy can be exploited efficiently in building façades using building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This study presents a methodology to optimize the design of fixed, parametrically modelled PV integrated shading ... -
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 ... -
A Novel Dynamic Insulation System for Windows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)One of the measures to reduce energy consumption in buildings in Nordic countries is limiting the window area, as windows contribute to significantly higher heat loss than walls during a long hot season. This conflicts ... -
A novel proxy and the sea level rise in Venice, Italy, from 1350 to 2014
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The evolution of relative sea level (RSL) in Venice, Italy, is crucial for the safeguarding of the city and it is now possible to extend our knowledge back to 1350, including the whole Little Ice Age and modern global ... -
