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 ... -
Co-simulation and validation of the performance of a highly flexible parametric model of an external shading system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The article presents a validation study of a modelling approach implemented in a numerical script for external louvred shading systems based on an experimental analysis in a full-scale test facility. The model developed ... -
Climate change impacts and fungal decay in vulnerable historie buildings at Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper emphasises on degradation of wood in cultural heritage structures at Svalbard. Nowhere else does global heating occur faster. Negative impacts of climate change will increase the strain on wooden structures ... -
Exploiting selective angular properties of retro-reflective coatings to mitigate solar irradiation within the urban canyon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The combination of urban sprawl and densification in built areas increases the number of interbuilding solar reflections. This contributes to over warming in urban environments – a phenomenon known as the urban heat island ... -
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 ... -
Sustainable densification through wooden extensions. The case study of Sentralbygg 1 at Gløshaugen
(Master thesis, 2020)De økende kravene til fortetting i byområder, kombinert med stigende mengder CO2 i atmosfæren, krever direkte handling. Fordi byggebransjen står for omtrent 40% av utslippene av klimagasser, er det vårt ansvar å revurdere ... -
Parametric analyses of facades in early design phase, to optimise daylight and energy performance
(Master thesis, 2020)I 2030 vil det være 6 millioner mennesker i Norge. Populasjonsveksten vil hovedsakelig forgå i de store byene. For å kunne nå målene fra Paris-avtalen og få lavutslippsbyer, må planleggingen av ekspansjonen av byene inneholde ... -
Future sustainable development of buildings in the high altitude Khumbu region of Nepal. A design for Cafe De Imja Tse Bakery and Guesthouse, Chukhung 4730m.
(Master thesis, 2020)The Khumbu, also known as the Everest Region, is the home of the Sherpa people. Originally from Tibet, they emigrated to this region of Nepal 600 years ago. In Nepal’s population of 30 million around 300,000 are Sherpas. ... -
The impact of ventilative cooling technologies on heating energy and thermal comfort in residential buildings
(Master thesis, 2020)I løpet av de siste tiårene så har kravene for energiforbruk og termisk inneklima blitt stadig strengere. Samtidig har nye løsninger blitt introdusert som har potensiale til å løse problemer relatert til unødvendig ... -
Optimization of solar energy use with a dynamic integrated photovoltaic shading device
(Master thesis, 2020)Integrasjon av solceller på bygningskroppen har fått stadig økende oppmerksomhet de siste tiårene. Strengere krav til energieffektivitet har fremmet utviklingen av nye produkter, som har mulighet til å løse flere problemer ... -
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 ... -
Zero-emission low-rise student housing at Haugenhuset
(Master thesis, 2020)Som svar på behovet for studentboliger i Trondheim forventes Sit å utvide bygningsmassen ytterligere. Som en av hovedutviklerne for studentboliger i området, har Sit muligheten og ansvaret til å bidra til å senke utslippene ... -
Reduced order model of offshore wind turbine wake by proper orthogonal decomposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A wide range of previously designed methods for faster parametrization of partial differential equations requires them to be solved using existing finite volume, finite element, and finite difference solvers. Due to the ... -
