Advanced transparent facades: market available products and associated challenges in building performance simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The starting point of this study is to provide a non-exhaustive overview of relevant transparent advanced facade technologies available on the market and suited to Nordic climates. A corresponding literature review is ... -
Balancing competing parameters in search of optimal configurations for a fix louvre blade system with integrated PV
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this paper, a parametric analysis of the configuration of a fix louvre-blade system with integrated PV coating is presented. The study evaluates different exploitations of solar energy focusing on the competing functions ... -
Daylighting availability in a living laboratory single family house and implication on electric lighting energy demand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study aims to analyze the correlation between daylight availability and the use of artificial light in a residential building in Nordic climate. Experimental data and numerical simulations are used to compare artificial ... -
Dynamic thermal performance of a PCM window system:characterization using large scale measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Introdution of more dynamic building envelope components have been done throughout the last decades in order to try to increase indoor thermal comfort and reduce energy need in buildings for both temperature and light ... -
Energy performance assessment of a semi-integrated PV system in a zero emission building through periodic linear regression method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The ZEB Living Laboratory is a pilot building and experimental facility realized within the Research Centre on Zero Emission Buildings. The building is a single-family house designed to reach the ZEB-OM target – Zero ... -
Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal systems in buildings – a review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This paper presents a review of projects where hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems are used in buildings. PV/T systems convert solar radiation to electricity and heat simultaneously, in one module. The output of ... -
Impact of opaque building envelope configuration on the heating and cooling energy need of a single family house in cold climates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The building envelope plays a crucial role in reducing operational energy demand. The two main properties of the building envelope to look at in this perspective are thermal transmittance (U, W/m2K1) and thermal inertia, ... -
Moisture in Multi-Layer Windows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)There is an increasing interest in development of coupled multi-layer window structures. This is to optimize thermal properties and to develop systems with a better climate protected solar shading system. The risk of ... -
Phase Change Materials in Glazing: Implications on Light Distribution and Visual Comfort. Preliminary Results
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The visual comfort concerned witha technology with PCM embedded into a double glazing unit was analyzed, using the Daylight Probability Glare and the ‘Useful Illuminance’ (percent of workplane with an illuminance in the ... -
Simplified metrics for advanced window systems. Effects on the estimation of energy use for space heating and cooling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Simplified metrics (U-value, g-value) are often used to energy use for space heating and cooling when conventional windows are adopted, but they are not fully capable of describing the thermophysical behaviour of more ... -
Solar Optimization of Housing Development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This study explored how to increase the on-site energy production of row-houses in a new urban development area located in Trondheim (Norway) from the early design stages. The process consisted in an evolutionary algorithmic ... -
Sustainable energy in cities: methodology and results of a summer course providing smart solutions for a new district in Shanghai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A systemic approach for integrated urban energy planning and design can increase energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources and bioclimatic strategies to lower the energy footprint at building, district and ... -
The ZEB Test Cell Laboratory. A facility for characterization of building envelope systems under real outdoor conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The ZEB Test Cells Laboratory is an experimental facility at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, designed to carry out different types of experiments. The primary use is for testing of building envelope ... -
Thermal and optical properties of a thermotropic glass pane: Laboratory and in-field characterization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Switchable windows are glazing technologies that exhibit dynamic optical properties and may thus be used to improve the energy performance of buildings. A window system based on a thermotropic glass pane was tested both ... -
