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 ... -
Assessment of GHG emissions from materials during building design - Methods for improved reliability and quality
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:15, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Construction materials in buildings contribute significantly to climate change. Globally, nations have committed to drastic reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG), among them Norway which has committed to 50-55% reduction ... -
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 ... -
Daylighting and Architectural Quality: Aesthetic Perception of Daylit Indoor Environments
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:25, Doctoral thesis, 2016)The present thesis concerns the field of daylighting in architecture. In particular, this thesis examines the topic of the aesthetic perception of daylit indoor environments. Most daylighting studies seem to use ... -
LIGHT MODELLING IN ARCHITECTURAL SPACES: LUMINANCE-BASED METRICS OF CONTOUR, SHAPE AND DETAIL DISTINCTNESS OF DAY-LIT 3D OBJECTS
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:104, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Light modelling is a small but important part of the lighting quality concept. It determines not only the capability of the eye to detect any objects in a space but also its ability to discriminate contours, shapes and ... -
Modus Operandi in Opus Operatum: The Shaping of Historical Wooden Towns by Traditional Workmanship
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:17, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The aim of this thesis was to analyse the phenomenon of traditional workmanship and its role in urban conservation throughout history and in recent times by focusing on the main case of Røros in Norway, and by comparing ... -
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 ... -
The impact of microclimate on biodeterioration of wood in historic buildings
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:13, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Abstract Mattsson, J. 2017. The impact of microclimate on biodeterioration of wood in historic buildings. Building materials in historic buildings are naturally, due to long-term exposure to various climatic and ... -
The Impact of Tourism in the Historic Town of Fenghuang, China and the Changes in Buildings and Inter-Building Public Spaces

Transparent facades in low energy office buildings Numerical simulations and experimental studies
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:112, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Windows are a key component in the building envelope. They are often, thought of as energy drains and something associated with excessive energy demands in a building. However, in order to assess the energy performance ... -
Wood Weathering as Design Option
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2014:272, Doctoral thesis, 2014)The objective of the presented work is to provide a more thorough understanding of weathering colors and color patterns of untreated wooden claddings. The perspective taken throughout this work is that weathering is ... -
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 ...
