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 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 ... -
A test bed for thermal fluid dynamic analysis of double skin facade systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The experimental analysis of the thermal fluid dynamic behavior of double skin facade (DSF) requires full scale prototypes or actual facade systems. Because of the crucial interaction with the solar irradiation, tests are ... -
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 ... -
