(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Strategies to densify urban fabric for both environmental and market purposes, place built heritage under increasing pressure. Over the last decade, a shift can be noted in the discourse on built heritage in Norway, where ... -
Estimated and actual construction inventory data in embodied greenhouse gas emission calculations for a Norwegian zero emission building (ZEB) construction site
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Norwegian construction industry is responsible for approximately 1.2% of national GHG emissions during the construction phase. Consequently, there is a growing interest in addressing construction emissions. Therefore, ... -
Automatic vs Manual Control Strategy for Window Blinds and Ceiling Lights: Consequences to Perceived Visual and Thermal Discomfort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A case study to evaluate the occupants' satisfaction in relation to two different control strategies (fully automatic and manual) for blind and ceiling lights use in cell offices was carried on in Trondheim, Norway. A group ... -
The impact of advanced glazing on colour identification
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:44, Doctoral thesis, 2019) -
Microclimate analysis of a university campus in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate responsive urban design that makes use of passive heating and cooling strategies and enhances pedestrian comfort is a key element to a sustainable society. Knowing the impact of different materials, building ... -
Assessing cities: Applying GIS-based methods for mapping cross-scale spatial indicators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In recent years, several systems and tools to assess energy consumption and carbon emissions at scales beyond that of merely buildings, such as LEED, CASBEE and BREEAM communities have been development. However, reviews ... -
Reanalysis of occupant experiment in ZEB Living Lab
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In 2015-2016, a six-month long experiment was carried out in the ZEB Living Lab, one of the first houses in Norway planned to reach net zero emission throughout its lifetime. By means of qualitative experiments, social ... -
Room-level occupancy simulation model for private households
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work presents a novel occupancy simulation model for residential buildings. The main contribution is that occupancy is simulated at room level, as opposed to more course spatial resolutions in previous studies. The ... -
Case study of personal heaters in a Plus energy building – Simulations of potential energy savings and results from a field test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Personal Comfort Systems (PCS) for heating, such as foot warmers, heated chairs and infrared heaters, can compensate for a lowering of up to 10°C in ambient temperatures in a heating situation. They are found to lead to a ... -
Experimental setup and testing of an in-field system for real- time occupant feedback
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Thermal comfort and air quality in buildings have been found to be the 2nd and 5th largest sources of complaints among occupants in modern office buildings. In building operation, the determination of control set-points ... -
Investigating the performance of a hybrid PV integrated shading device using multi-objective optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)PV integrated shading devices (PVSDs) are an interesting case study for an optimisation problem as their design is non-trivial and they must balance competing parameters and uses of solar energy. In this study, the case ... -
Analysing electricity demand in neighbourhoods with electricity generation from solar power systems: A case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)An energy management system can be introduced on a neighbourhood level, to achieve energy goals such as increased self-consumption of locally produced energy. In this case-study, electricity generation from photovoltaic ... -
Electricity analysis for energy management in neighbourhoods: Case study of a large housing cooperative in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)As a basis for energy management in apartment blocks, this paper characterises electricity use in a Norwegian housing cooperative with 1,058 apartments. In 2018, the average specific electricity delivery to apartments and ... -
climify.org: an online solution for easy control and monitoring of the indoor environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Real energy performance of new and retrofitted buildings often consistently differs from expectations. While occupants might complain about poor indoor climate, the energy use in such buildings is often higher than expected, ... -
Visualisation of KPIs in zero emission neighbourhoods for improved stakeholder participation using Virtual Reality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper addresses the role of virtual reality in addressing the specific challenge of the increasing complexity and decreasing usability when dealing with the level of detail required to model a zero emission neighbourhood ... -
Daylight Transport Systems for Buildings at High Latitudes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper is a literature study of daylight transport systems aiming at selecting the most appropriate ones for application at high latitudes. It is limited to the systems that transport light at a long distance from the ... -
Assessing the annual power reliability of a residential building in relation to its ventilation system type: The case study of the off-grid container house in Shanghai.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In developing countries, electrification of rural and remote areas is an essential need for improving socio-economic conditions. However, increased access to adequate electricity and upgraded facilities may double or even ... -
