Facade Integrated Photovoltaic, state of the art of Experimental Methodology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The concept of Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is one of the most promising strategies to employ clean energy in the built environment. Up to now, the PVs have been applied mostly on roofs, but since the total ... -
A Methodological Approach to Assess the Climatic Potential of Natural Ventilation Through Façades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Due to the rapid development of super insulated and airtight buildings, the energy requirement for mechanical ventilation is becoming more and more dominant in today’s highly efficient buildings. In this scenario, natural ... -
Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Resources Threatened by Climate Change
(Book, 2019)This book presents a print version of the Special Issue of the journal Geosciences dedicated to the “Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Resources Threatened by Climate Change.” With a wide spectrum of data, case studies, ... -
Development and validation of a Monte Carlo-based numerical model for solar analyses in urban canyon configurations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Highly- and retro-reflective materials have recently been investigated and proposed as a new urban coating solution to reduce the so-called urban heat island effect. The present study aims at providing a numerical model ... -
Perimeter blocks in different forms - Aspects of daylight and view
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The perimeter blocks in cities are usually rectangular and follow the streets. The buildings are mostly of similar height within each block. However, perimeter blocks can be developed in many various ... -
A cross-country perspective on solar energy in urban planning: Lessons learned from international case studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work, framed in the IEA SHC Task 51 “Solar Energy in Urban Planning”, presents an illustrative perspective of solar energy in urban planning through the analysis of 34 international case studies conducted in 10 ... -
Perimeter Blocks in Nordic Towns - How latitude affect daylighting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)One of the design principles for future sustainable towns is compactness. The densification of cities is very much needed, but it usually compromises the access of daylight. Densification is especially challenging in the ... -
Managing urban heritage - A case study of the warehouses in Kjøpmannsgata, Trondheim, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Strategies to densify urban fabric for both environmental and market purposes, place built heritage under increasing pressure. Over the last decade, a shift can be noted in the discourse on built heritage in Norway, where ... -
Estimated and actual construction inventory data in embodied greenhouse gas emission calculations for a Norwegian zero emission building (ZEB) construction site
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Norwegian construction industry is responsible for approximately 1.2% of national GHG emissions during the construction phase. Consequently, there is a growing interest in addressing construction emissions. Therefore, ... -
Automatic vs Manual Control Strategy for Window Blinds and Ceiling Lights: Consequences to Perceived Visual and Thermal Discomfort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A case study to evaluate the occupants' satisfaction in relation to two different control strategies (fully automatic and manual) for blind and ceiling lights use in cell offices was carried on in Trondheim, Norway. A group ... -
The impact of advanced glazing on colour identification

Microclimate analysis of a university campus in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate responsive urban design that makes use of passive heating and cooling strategies and enhances pedestrian comfort is a key element to a sustainable society. Knowing the impact of different materials, building ... -
Reanalysis of occupant experiment in ZEB Living Lab
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In 2015-2016, a six-month long experiment was carried out in the ZEB Living Lab, one of the first houses in Norway planned to reach net zero emission throughout its lifetime. By means of qualitative experiments, social ... -
Room-level occupancy simulation model for private households
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work presents a novel occupancy simulation model for residential buildings. The main contribution is that occupancy is simulated at room level, as opposed to more course spatial resolutions in previous studies. The ... -
Assessing cities: Applying GIS-based methods for mapping cross-scale spatial indicators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In recent years, several systems and tools to assess energy consumption and carbon emissions at scales beyond that of merely buildings, such as LEED, CASBEE and BREEAM communities have been development. However, reviews ... -
Case study of personal heaters in a Plus energy building – Simulations of potential energy savings and results from a field test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Personal Comfort Systems (PCS) for heating, such as foot warmers, heated chairs and infrared heaters, can compensate for a lowering of up to 10°C in ambient temperatures in a heating situation. They are found to lead to a ... -
Experimental setup and testing of an in-field system for real- time occupant feedback
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Thermal comfort and air quality in buildings have been found to be the 2nd and 5th largest sources of complaints among occupants in modern office buildings. In building operation, the determination of control set-points ... -
Electricity analysis for energy management in neighbourhoods: Case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)As a basis for energy management in apartment blocks, this paper characterises electricity use in a Norwegian housing cooperative with 1,058 apartments. In 2018, the average specific electricity delivery to apartments and ... -
Investigating the performance of a hybrid PV integrated shading device using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)PV integrated shading devices (PVSDs) are an interesting case study for an optimisation problem as their design is non-trivial and they must balance competing parameters and uses of solar energy. In this study, the case ... -
Analysing electricity demand in neighbourhoods with electricity generation from solar power systems: A case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)An energy management system can be introduced on a neighbourhood level, to achieve energy goals such as increased self-consumption of locally produced energy. In this case-study, electricity generation from photovoltaic ...
