Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of a Diffuse Ceiling Ventilation System through Sound-absorbing Ceiling Panels
(Chapter, 2018)The Diffuse Ceiling Ventilation (DCV) is one of the promising concepts to satisfy ventilation and thermal comfort requirements in modern buildings. This solution allows the injection of a high amount of ventilation air at ... -
Connected design decision networks: Multidisciplinary decision support for early building design LCA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the standard method to evaluate environmental impact throughout the life cycle of buildings. However, detailed data about the future building as well as knowledge about the mutual ... -
Considering Resilience: Steps Towards an Assessment Framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)As threats from climate change related hazards increase in cities around the world, communities are faced with an urgent requirement for self-evaluation. It is essential to expose and assess potential hazards facing cities, ... -
Contextualizing learning approaches which shape BIM for maintenance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Purpose: Studies of BIM examine the potential benefits in maintenance. There is also a perspective maintenance teams should be involved early in the building project process. There is little ... -
Continuous data-streams for occupant feedback on indoor climate: Theoretical and experimental analysis of concepts, methods and systems for real-life implementation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:129, Doctoral thesis, 2021)One of the main purposes of a building is to provide a healthy, productive, and comfortable indoor environment. Both conventional and modern “smart” buildings can be said to fall short of this ideal. The fields of research ... -
Control of Heat Pumps with CO2 Emission Intensity Forecasts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An optimized heat pump control for building heating was developed for minimizing CO 2 emissions from related electrical power generation. The control is using weather and CO 2 emission forecasts as inputs to a Model ... -
Control of heat transfer in single-story mechanically ventilated double skin facades
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper systematically investigates and quantifies the interplay between mechanical ventilation rate and operation of venetian blinds in determining the performance of a single-story double skin façade. The investigation ... -

Core-shell-typed Ag@SiO2 Nanoparticles as Solar Selective Coating Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Silver (Ag) nanoparticles with typical diameter of about 50 nm have been prepared via a polyol process. The as-prepared Ag nanoparticles are well crystallized and exhibit a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ... -
A Cultural Landscape Emerges: Analyzing the Evolution of Two Historic North Pole Expedition Bases in Virgohamna, Svalbard, from Trash to a Protected Cultural Heritage Site
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The identification and preservation of cultural landscapes worthy of protection is a challenging task, as their significance is often not immediately apparent. Analyzing the process through which a site or landscape became ... -
Current Challenges of Urban Energy Planning in a Norwegian Municipality
(Chapter, 2017)Transitioning urban areas into sustainable communities is an important part of combating the current energy and emission challenges facing the world. The Norwegian municipality of Oslo has set ambitious energy and emission ... -
Current trends and future challenges in the performance assessment of adaptive façade systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During the last decades, a great number of innovative building envelope materials and façade components have been developed. The majority of these technologies promise significant improvements in energy efficiency and ... -
