Key Elements of and Materials Performance Targets for Highly Insulating Window Frames
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The thermal performance of windows is important for energy efficient buildings. Windows typically account for about 30–50 percent of the transmission losses though the building envelope, even if their area fraction of the ... -
Lessons learnt from embodied GHG emission calculations in zero emission buildings (ZEBs) from the Norwegian ZEB research centre
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The objective of this work is to present, evaluate and discuss the calculation methodology and embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emission results from zero emission building (ZEB) case studies from the Norwegian ZEB research ... -
Low-Emissivity Materials for Building Applications: A State-of-the-Art Review and Future Research Perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Low-emissivity (low-e) materials can be used in order to reduce energy usage in both opaque and transparent areas of a building. The main focus for low-e materials is to reduce the heat transfer through thermal radiation. ... -
A Markov-Switching model for building occupant activity estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Heating and ventilation strategies in buildings can be improved significantly if information about the current presence and activity level of the occupants is taken into account. Therefore, there is a high demand for ... -
Modelling and experimental validation of an algorithm for simulation of hysteresis effects in phase change materials for building components
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The use of Phase Change Materials (PCM) in different building applications is a hot topic in today's R&D activities. Numerical simulations of PCM-based components are often used both for research activities and as a design ... -
Multi-domain model-based control of an adaptive façade based on a flexible double skin system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Adaptive envelopes have the potential to significantly reduce energy use in buildings while ensuring high performance. These envelopes interact with multiple interconnected domains, such as daylight, indoor air quality, ... -
Parametric design to minimize the embodied GHG emissions in a ZEB
(Journal article, 2018)This work aims to apply parametric design to minimize the embodied greenhouse gas emissions and op- erational energy in a zero emission building in Oslo, Norway. An original generative workflow based on parametric design ... -
Phase Change Materials for Building Applications: A State-of-the-Art Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Phase change materials (PCMs) are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of buildings. By storing and releasing heat within a certain temperature range, it raises the building inertia and ... -
Spectral and angular solar properties of a PCM-filled double glazing unit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Phase change materials (PCMs) have been proposed as a means to increase the thermal inertia of glazing systems. These materials have optical features that need to be investigated and characterised in order to ... -
The effect of spatial and temporal randomness of stochastically generated occupancy schedules on the energy performance of a multiresidential building
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Building performance simulation is frequently used to support building design, renovation, and operation. However, modelers are traditionally concerned with accurately describing technical input data, and have only limited ... -
A theoretical framework for classifying occupant-centric data streams on indoor climate using a physiological and cognitive process hierarchy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)New and pervasive information and communication technologies have made it possible to capture a large range of continuous data from, or close to, each individual building occupant. These occupant-centric data streams may ... -
Thermal Modeling and Investigation of the Most Energy-Efficient Window Position
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The energy consumption in buildings contributes substantially to the worldwide energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. One of the crucial elements defining energy consumption is the building envelope, which in modern ... -
Vacuum Insulation Panels for Building Applications: A Review and Beyond
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are regarded as one of the most promising high performance thermal insulation solutions on the market today. Thermal performances 3 to 6 times better than still-air are achieved by applying ... -
Window spacers and edge seals in insulating glass units: A state-of-the-art review and future perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Insulating glass (IG) units typically consist of multiple glass panes that are sealed and held together structurally along their perimeters. This report describes a study of edge seals in IG units. First, we summarize the ... -
Windows in the Buildings of Tomorrow; Energy Losers or Energy Gainers?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)One of the most effective actions for reduction of energy loss through the building envelope is to optimize the thermal performance, area and localization of the transparent components in the façade in order to obtain ...
