A Comparative Analysis of the Visual Comfort Performance between a PCM Glazing and a Conventional Selective Double Glazed Unit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The performance of a Double Glazing Unit (DGU) with a Phase Change Material (PCM) layer embedded in the cavity was analyzed in terms of the visual comfort perceived by the occupants. The analysis was carried out through a ... -
A Comparative Study between Building Performance Simulation Tools
(Master thesis, 2020)Ettersom land prøver å arbeide for mer energieffektive design, er byggebransjen, som er den øverste sluttbrukssektoren for energibruk for mange nasjoner over hele verden, et viktig mål. Det har blitt stadig viktigere å ... -
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 ... -
A Database Tool for Systematic Analysis of Embodied Emissions in Buildings and Neighborhoods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is a growing body of research on the embodied emissions of individual buildings, but the results and methods remain mostly inaccessible and incomparable due to insufficient reported information, and differences in ... -
A Design Approach towards Energy Efficient Building in case of KAMD!
(Master thesis, 2022)Due to the steady growth of population in urban cities, we tend to keep building and densify our built environment as never seen before. As this remains true and only continues to accelerate, it is imperative to act more ... -
A holistic approach to assess the exploitation of renewable energy sources for design interventions in the early design phases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study presents a holistic approach applied to assess the exploitation of renewable energy sources for design interventions in the early design phases in a consolidated urban environment. Concerning the cooling season, ... -
A Measurement-Driven Approach to Understand Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Nordic Cities
(Journal article, 2016)Cities are main drivers for climate change mitigation and emission reduction today. However, in many cases they lack reliable baselines of emissions to validate current developments over time, assess the impact of their ... -
A Methodological Analysis Approach to Assess Solar Energy Potential at the Neighborhood Scale
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Rapid and uncontrolled urbanization is continuously increasing buildings’ energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In this scenario, solar energy integrated into the built environment can play ... -
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 ... -
A Methodology for Long-Term Monitoring of Climate Change Impacts on Historic Buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A new methodology for long-term monitoring of climate change impacts on historic buildings and interiors has been developed. This paper proposes a generic framework for how monitoring programs can be developed and describes ... -
A methodology to improve the performance of PV integrated shading devices using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Solar energy can be exploited efficiently in building façades using building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This study presents a methodology to optimize the design of fixed, parametrically modelled PV integrated shading ... -
A Multi-Perspective Observation of Site Museums: Case study of Archaeological Site Museums in China, with Norwegian Example as Reference
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:118, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Based on the documentation and analysis of anthropological fieldwork carried out from 2009 to 2015 on three selected site museum cases, this dissertation focuses on the phenomenon of installation management in Chinese site ... -
A Norwegian ZEB Definition Guideline
(ZEB Project report;29, Research report, 2016) -
A Norwegian zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN) definition and a ZEN key performance indicator (KPI) tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Within the Norwegian Research Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in smart cities, a definition for achieving zero emission neighbourhoods will be developed and tested against nine pilot areas. The ZEN definition ... -
A Novel Dynamic Insulation System for Windows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)One of the measures to reduce energy consumption in buildings in Nordic countries is limiting the window area, as windows contribute to significantly higher heat loss than walls during a long hot season. This conflicts ... -
A novel proxy and the sea level rise in Venice, Italy, from 1350 to 2014
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The evolution of relative sea level (RSL) in Venice, Italy, is crucial for the safeguarding of the city and it is now possible to extend our knowledge back to 1350, including the whole Little Ice Age and modern global ... -
A simulation study on the performance of double skin façade through experimental design methods and analysis of variance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Systematic studies of the thermal fluid dynamic behaviour of building envelope systems through experiment analyses is limited by the relevant amount of time and high costs necessary to carry out a relevant number of tests ... -
