Accelerated aging of treated aluminum for use as a cool colored material for facades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Cool colored materials like membrane sheets and dried coatings exhibit higher reflectances in the near infrared region compared to conventional materials of the same color and are therefore desirable, as they provide energy ... -
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 ... -
Adapting Cultural Heritage to Climate Change Risks: Perspectives of Cultural Heritage Experts in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Changes in rainfall patterns, humidity, and temperature, as well as greater exposure to severe weather events, has led to the need for adapting cultural heritage to climate change. However, there is limited research ... -
Advanced Building Envelopes: Opportunities, challenges, and future outlooks in building performance simulation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:130, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Research in buildings has lately focused on tackling two main issues: reducing energy use and building better and faster to cope with the expected expansion of cities. The building industry has struggled to adapt to these ... -
Advanced transparent facades: market available products and associated challenges in building performance simulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The starting point of this study is to provide a non-exhaustive overview of relevant transparent advanced facade technologies available on the market and suited to Nordic climates. A corresponding literature review is ... -
Aerogel Granule Aging Driven by Moisture and Solar Radiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The application of aerogel in the building and construction sector is very promising; therefore, its durability should be properly addressed. This study focuses on the aging effect of aerogel granules, emphasizing two aging ... -
Aerogel insulation for building applications: A state-of-the-art review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Aerogels are regarded as one of the most promising high performance thermal insulation materials for building applications today. With a thermal conductivity down to 13 mW/(mK) for commercial products they show remarkable ... -
Aerogel vs. argon insulation in windows: A greenhouse gas emissions analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The scope of this study is a comprehensive analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions from the partial substitution of triple-glazing units with argon gas (U-value of 0.79 W/m2 K) with double-glazing units with either ... -
Aerogel-Incorporated Concrete: An Experimental Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Lightweight concrete can be prepared by replacing the normal aggregate of concrete, either partly or totally, with lightweight materials. In this work, by incorporating silica aerogel particles into concrete matrix, we ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Aluminium nodes for timber gridshells: Parametric detailing of node principles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Gridshell nodes are key elements regarding structural performance, visual appearance and assembly of any gridshell that have been given little attention in recent research. This paper explores aluminium as a material for ... -
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 ... -
