Accelerated climate aging of building materials and their characterization by Fourier transform infrared radiation analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building materials and their durability and aging are essential to the performance of buildings and their building physical aspects over time. Accelerated climate aging investigations are carried out in order to study the ... -
Aging effects on thermal properties and service life of vacuum insulation panels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) represent a high-performance thermal insulation material solution offering an alternative to thick wall sections and large amounts of traditional insulation in modern buildings. Thermal ... -
Developing low-conductance window frames: Capabilities and limitations of current window heat transfer design tools - State-of-the-art review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)While window frames typically represent 20—30% of the overall window area, their impact on the total window heat transfer rates may be much larger. This effect is even greater in low-conductance (highly insulating) windows ... -
Hot Box Investigations and Theoretical Assessments of Miscellaneous Vacuum Insulation Panel Configurations in Building Envelopes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are regarded as one of the most promising existing high performance thermal insulation solutions on the market today as their thermal performance typically range 5—10 times better than ... -
Improving Thermal Insulation of Timber Frame Walls by Retrofitting with Vacuum Insulation Panels – Experimental and Theoretical Investigations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Many of the Norwegian buildings from the 1960s–1980s with timber frame walls are ready for retrofitting. Retrofitting of these buildings with vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) may be performed without significant changes to ... -
Measurement of the convective moisture transfer coefficient from porous building material surfaces applying a wind tunnel method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This article presents results for the average convective moisture transfer coefficients of several porous building material samples exposed to airflow. The experimental measurements explore the effect of the various air ... -
Robustness Classification of Materials, Assemblies and Buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Reliable methods are needed for classifying the robustness of buildings and building materials for many reasons, including ensuring that constructions can withstand the climate conditions resulting from global warming, ... -
The Path to the High Performance Thermal Building Insulation Materials and Solutions of Tomorrow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)In today’s society there is an increased focus on various energy aspects. Buildings constitute a large part of the total energy consumption in the world. In this respect it is important to have the optimum heat balance in ... -
Vacuum Insulation Panels in Wood Frame Wall Constructions with Different Stud Profiles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)In this work, the thermal performance of three different wall configurations was examined by hot box measurements and numerical simulations. Vacuum insulation panels were sandwiched between traditional insulation in walls ...
