Analysing methodological choices in calculations of embodied energy and GHG emissions from buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The importance of embodied energy and embodied greenhouse gas emissions (EEG) from buildings is gaining increased interest within building sector initiatives and on a regulatory level. In spite of recent harmonisation ... -
Analysis of a non-calorimetric method for assessment of in-situ thermal transmittance and solar factor of glazed systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The performance of glazing systems is usually assessed through the thermal transmittance and the solar factor, two metrics characterised either through calorimetric laboratory tests or calculations. In this paper, the ... -
Analysis of residential EV energy flexibility potential based on real-world charging reports and smart meter data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increase in the number of electric vehicles leads to an increased demand for residential charging. While EV electric loads can have a negative impact on the power grid, they also represent a large potential for energy ... -
An analytical method for evaluating and visualizing embodied carbon emissions of buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings constitute a large part of global emissions, where building materials and associated processes make up a significant fraction. These emissions are complicated to evaluate ... -
Antireflection Properties of Monodisperse Hollow Silica Nanospheres
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres have been prepared by using a polystyrene nanosphere template-assistant approach and their potential as antireflection (AR) coatings for window applications has been discussed. The ... -
Approaches to Social Innovation in Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)—A Comparison of Norwegian Projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Positive Energy District (PED) concept is a localized city and district level response to the challenges of greenhouse gas emission reduction and energy transition. With the Strategic Energy Transition (SET) Plan aiming ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Companies are increasingly expected to develop products with better environmental performance throughout their life cycle. Academic literature on ecodesign integration, which investigates firms’ practices of dealing with ... -
Architectural quality and cultural heritage values in economic analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This article examines the evaluation of architectural quality in socioeconomic analyses of large public building projects in Norway. From a socio-economic perspective, a new building can be designed well or even better ... -
The Argan-Brinckmann polemic (1932–33) and the reception of Piedmontese Baroque architecture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The short but intense polemic that took place following Giulio Carlo Argan’s review of Albert Erich Brinckmann’s Theatrum novum Pedemontii in 1931 inaugurated international twentieth century scholarly reception of Piedmontese ... -
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 ... -
Assessing the annual power reliability of a residential building in relation to its ventilation system type: The case study of the off-grid container house in Shanghai.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In developing countries, electrification of rural and remote areas is an essential need for improving socio-economic conditions. However, increased access to adequate electricity and upgraded facilities may double or even ... -
Assessing the impact of urban microclimate on building energy demand by coupling CFD and building performance simulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To quantify the effect of different compositions of the urban surface on the urban microclimate, building energy demand, and summerly overheating of a selected 13-floor office high-rise building in Trondheim, Norway, a ... -
