Reduced order model of offshore wind turbine wake by proper orthogonal decomposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A wide range of previously designed methods for faster parametrization of partial differential equations requires them to be solved using existing finite volume, finite element, and finite difference solvers. Due to the ... -
Aurorae observed by Giuseppe Toaldo in Padua (1766-1797)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)A record is presented of the auroral observations made by Giuseppe Toaldo and his assistant Vincenzo Chiminello in Padua, Italy, in the second half of the 18th century. The historical sources consulted include the original ... -
CFD Study of Diffuse Ceiling Ventilation through Perforated Ceiling Panels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Diffuse Ceiling Ventilation (DCV) is a promising concept to address internal air quality and thermal comfort requirements in contemporary buildings. Sound-absorbing perforated ceiling panels are common in office rooms and ... -
Determination of the energy performance indicator of kindergartens through design, measured and recommended parameters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Research analyzed the influence of parameters derived from urban planning, architecture, building materials and technology, building physics, users and patterns of use, the measured thermal performance of the envelope and ... -
Value-based decision making in the pre-design stage of sustainable building renovation projects – exploring two methods for weighting criteria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Renovating our existing building stock holds a great potential. However, as the complexity of renovation projects is high, multi-criteria decision-making methods can support the decision makers throughout the renovation ... -
Increasing the Resilience of Cultural Heritage to Climate Change through the application of a Learning Strategy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)There is growing concern about the threat posed by climate change to cultural heritage, notably to World Heritage properties. Climate change is triggering changes in rainfall patterns, humidity and temperature, as well as ... -
Modus Operandi in Opus Operatum: The Shaping of Historical Wooden Towns by Traditional Workmanship
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:17, Doctoral thesis, 2020) -
A Markov-Switching model for building occupant activity estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Heating and ventilation strategies in buildings can be improved significantly if information about the current presence and activity level of the occupants is taken into account. Therefore, there is a high demand for ... -
Carbon dioxide-based occupancy estimation using stochastic differential equations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the existing building stock, heating, cooling and ventilation usually run on fixed schedules, in many cases, even all day. In particular, ventilation systems often run with a constant air flow rate that is adjusted based ... -
European summer temperatures since Roman times
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The spatial context is critical when assessing present-day climate anomalies, attributing them to potential forcings and making statements regarding their frequency and severity in a long-term perspective. Recent international ... -
Aksjonisme og bymiljøvernet
(Chapter, 2019)Aksjonar som politisk uttrykksform prega debatten rundt vern og fornying av byar og tettstader den siste halvdelen av 1900-talet. Aksjonane utfordra funksjonalismens planleggingsideal med vekt på modernisering og fornying ... -
Selbukassa - A Case Study for Aiming at Low Emission Buildings through Extensive Reuse of Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent reports from UN International Resource Panel call for double decoupling – decoupling of material use and related environmental impacts from economic growth. The construction and use of buildings constitute a significant ... -
The Impact of Tourism in the Historic Town of Fenghuang, China and the Changes in Buildings and Inter-Building Public Spaces
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:255, Doctoral thesis, 2019) -
Perspectives from 2037-Can environmental impact assessment be the solution for an early consideration of climate change-related impacts?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Consideration of climate change in environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a rather novel topic, which became partly mandatory through the revised EU Directive on EIA. Through a mixed-methods approach involving key-actors ... -
Quantifying Environmental Impacts of Temporary Housing at the Urban Scale: Intersection of Vulnerability and Post-Hurricane Relief in New Orleans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The increasing risk and exposure of people and assets to natural hazards and disasters suggests an increasing need for temporary housing following disasters. Resilience to natural hazards is dependent on the resources ... -
Towards new design of laser cut acrylic panels for windows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper builds upon existing research into laser cut panels and aims to find new design-patterns that would improve daylighting conditions of existing rooms when applying the laser-cut panels on vertical windows. The ... -
CO2-based grey-box model to estimate airflow rate and room occupancy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the existing building stock, heating, cooling and ventilation often run on fixed schedules assuming maximal occupancy. However, fitting the control of the HVAC system to the building’s real demand offers large potential ... -
Temperature and thermal comfort in office spaces: measurements vs. simulations
(Chapter, 2019)A deviation between the calculated and the measured data of energy use in buildings (known as performance gap) has been extensively reported. The aim of this study is to identify the underlying causes of the deviation ... -
Dynamic simulation and parametric analysis of solar assisted desiccant cooling system with three configuration schemes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Evaporative cooling of the dehumidified air in a desiccant cooling system with the aid of solar energy is an attractive energy saving option to cool the process air for air conditioning purposes. This paper is concerned ... -
Numerical modeling and parametric study of an innovative solar oven
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A unique design of a double glazed box-type solar oven with flat foldable external reflectors at the top and front and an internal reflector beneath the L-shaped absorber plate is numerically and parametrically studied. ...
