Characteristics that matter in a climate façade: A sensitivity analysis with building energy simulation tools
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Double skin façades (DSFs) are considered façade technologies that can reduce energy use and improve occupant comfort due to their advanced features. Their design requires reliable simulations due to their complex ... -
Effects of retro-reflective and angular-selective retro-reflective materials on solar energy in urban canyons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study deals with the application of retro-reflective (RR) and angular-selective retro-reflective (AS-RR) coatings on surfaces (i.e. the street ground and the south-exposed façade) within the urban canyon. Solar analyses ... -
Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the ... -
ZEN og lovverket: Muligheter og begrensninger i dagens lovverk ved utvikling av et ZEN område
(ZEN Memo;, Research report, 2020)ZEN og lovverket: Muligheter og begrensninger i dagens lovverk ved utvikling av et ZEN område Forskningssenteret for nullutslippsområder i smarte byer (FME ZEN, www.fmezen.no) har som hovedmålsetting å utvikle løsninger ... -
Predicting solar radiation using a parametric cloud model
(Chapter, 2020)In this paper, we evaluate a method to calculate hourly global solar radiation and improve the calculation of diffuse and vertical surface radiation on building facades by accounting for ground conditions based on publicly ... -
Zero Emission Refurbishment of the Built Environment
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:257, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Nowadays, measures that aim minimum environmental impact are conceived for recent buildings. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are reduced and balanced from renewable energy sources in a lifecycle perspective, while energy ... -
Parametric Timber Detailing A parametric toolkit customized for detailing fabrication-ready timber structures
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:238, Doctoral thesis, 2020)This thesis develops a parametric toolkit for visual programming that is customised for detailing fabrication-ready timber structures. Digital fabrication increases the domain of what is rational to manufacture, and ... -
Co-simulation and validation of the performance of a highly flexible parametric model of an external shading system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The article presents a validation study of a modelling approach implemented in a numerical script for external louvred shading systems based on an experimental analysis in a full-scale test facility. The model developed ... -
Exploiting selective angular properties of retro-reflective coatings to mitigate solar irradiation within the urban canyon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The combination of urban sprawl and densification in built areas increases the number of interbuilding solar reflections. This contributes to over warming in urban environments – a phenomenon known as the urban heat island ... -
Climate change impacts and fungal decay in vulnerable historie buildings at Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper emphasises on degradation of wood in cultural heritage structures at Svalbard. Nowhere else does global heating occur faster. Negative impacts of climate change will increase the strain on wooden structures ... -
An alternative structure with PCM-based building component: A case study of OEN project in Oslo
(Master thesis, 2020)Statistisk data av Norge viser at i de neste 30 årene vil markedet for nullutslippsbygg øke raskt. Dette vil kreve større deltagelse innen bygningsindustrien for å kunne designe bygninger tilpasset lavutslippsbygg eller ... -
Parametric analyses of facades in early design phase, to optimise daylight and energy performance
(Master thesis, 2020)I 2030 vil det være 6 millioner mennesker i Norge. Populasjonsveksten vil hovedsakelig forgå i de store byene. For å kunne nå målene fra Paris-avtalen og få lavutslippsbyer, må planleggingen av ekspansjonen av byene inneholde ... -
Sustainable densification through wooden extensions. The case study of Sentralbygg 1 at Gløshaugen
(Master thesis, 2020)De økende kravene til fortetting i byområder, kombinert med stigende mengder CO2 i atmosfæren, krever direkte handling. Fordi byggebransjen står for omtrent 40% av utslippene av klimagasser, er det vårt ansvar å revurdere ... -
Optimization of solar energy use with a dynamic integrated photovoltaic shading device
(Master thesis, 2020)Integrasjon av solceller på bygningskroppen har fått stadig økende oppmerksomhet de siste tiårene. Strengere krav til energieffektivitet har fremmet utviklingen av nye produkter, som har mulighet til å løse flere problemer ... -
The impact of ventilative cooling technologies on heating energy and thermal comfort in residential buildings
