A Database Tool for Systematic Analysis of Embodied Emissions in Buildings and Neighborhoods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is a growing body of research on the embodied emissions of individual buildings, but the results and methods remain mostly inaccessible and incomparable due to insufficient reported information, and differences in ... -
Balanced Evaluation of Structural and Environmental Performances in Building Design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The design of new buildings, and even more the rehabilitation of existing ones, needs to satisfy modern criteria in terms of energy efficiency and environmental performance, within the context of adequate safety requirements. ... -
Between Research and Practice: Experts on Implementing Sustainable Construction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Despite documented political support for energy reduction measures in Switzerland’s built environment, as well as high international regard for its construction and research sectors, design practitioners and researchers ... -
Characterizing positive energy district (Ped) through a preliminary review of 60 existing projects in europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Positive Energy District (PED) is recently proposed to be an integral part of a district/urban energy system with a corresponding positive influence. Thus, the PED concept could become the key solution to energy system ... -
Effects of different surface heat transfer coefficients on predicted heating and cooling loads towards sustainable building design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The transfer of surface heat between a building and the outdoor environment is the energy transfer channel and it is important for the energy efficiency of buildings. Early stage building design is a critical stage and it ... -
Energy Citizenship in Positive Energy Districts – Towards a transdisciplinary approach to impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is commonly assumed by the projects demonstrating concepts for positive energy districts in cities across Europe that citizens want and need to be involved in the development of these concepts as an essential condition ... -

Life Cycle GHG Emissions of Residential Buildings in Humid Subtropical and Tropical Climates: Systematic Review and Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Improving the environmental life cycle performance of buildings by focusing on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along the building life cycle is considered a crucial step in achieving global climate targets. ... -
Methods to Account for Design for Disassembly: Status of the Building Sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Embracing the design for disassembly (DfD) mindset when constructing new and renovating existing buildings is a promising means of achieving our climate targets and putting the circular economy principles in practice, as ... -
Patterns of dwelling types, location, and spaciousness of living in norway. Critical remarks on the practice of measuring energy performance per floor area only
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)For decades, energy efficiency has been a key issue in the Norwegian building sector, and energy standards are strict in order to reduce net delivered energy to buildings. Formally, requirements on energy use of dwellings ... -
Perception of Urban Leftover Spaces: A Comparative Study of Built Environment and Non-Built Environment Participants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The built environment, urban processes, and experience all work together to create the spatial environment of a city. Many urban spaces, especially those that appear to be ‘leftover’, do not reflect a set concept but are ... -
Towards Zero-Emission Refurbishment of Historic Buildings: A Literature Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Nowadays, restoration interventions that aim for minimum environmental impact are conceived for recent buildings. Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced using criteria met within a life-cycle analysis, while energy saving ...
