High Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics Assessment of Wind Tunnel Turbine Test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present, what to our best knowledge, is the most accurate numerical investigation of the wind tunnel tests carried out over a model wind turbine (known as NTNU Blind Test) at the Norwegian University of Sciences and ... -
Building Bioclimatic Design in cold climate office buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building Bioclimatic Design (BBCD) understands architecture as a filter between outdoor climate and indoor comfort. This way, it encourages the exploitation of freely available climatic resources, before adding any HVAC ... -
Mitigating Climate Change in the Cultural Built Heritage Sector
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate change mitigation targets have put pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of cultural heritage buildings. Commonly adopted measures to decrease the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of historical buildings are targeted ... -
Daylight: What makes the difference?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Light is necessary for vision; it enables us to sense and perceive our surroundings and in many direct and indirect ways, via eye and skin, affects our physiological and psychological health. The use of light in built ... -
Simulation and control of shading systems for glazed facades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper presents a simulation study on the use of shading devices in highly glazed facades in the context of zero emission buildings (ZEB) located in a Nordic climatic context. Shading devices have the task to control ... -
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 ... -
The Norwegian ZEB definition and lessons learnt from nine pilot zero emission building projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the frame of the Norwegian Research Centre on Zero Emission Buildings, nine real-life zero emission pilot building projects were initiated during the period of 2009 to 2017. Eight of the pilot building projects have ... -
Life cycle assessment for Zero Emission Buildings – A chronology of the development of a visual, dynamic and integrated approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Current regulations to reduce energy consumption, and GHG emissions from buildings have focused on reducing operational impacts [1] This paper addresses the specific challenge of increasing complexity and decreasing usability ... -
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 ... -
Co-Creation of Positive Energy Blocks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A main challenge in building carbon-neutral built environments is the ability to scale and replicate solutions. We examine how to develop low-carbon neighbourhoods and districts, while aiming at climate-friendly and ... -
Relation between daylight availability and electric lighting in a single-family house
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Daylight availability is an important aspect that can potentially improve both the quality and the energy performance of buildings. However, it is not always straightforward easy to assure that an increase in the daylight ... -
Considering Resilience: Steps Towards an Assessment Framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)As threats from climate change related hazards increase in cities around the world, communities are faced with an urgent requirement for self-evaluation. It is essential to expose and assess potential hazards facing cities, ... -
Future climate change impacts on residential heating and cooling degree days in Serbia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study analyzes the potential changes of residential heating and cooling degree days (HDD and CDD) in the 21st century over Serbia with the regional climate model (RCM) EBU-POM under two different forcing scenarios ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Heat 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 heat use in a large housing cooperative in Norway, with in total 1,058 apartments. Heat measurements with hourly resolution are available from ... -
The Magician and the Shoemaker - Debates on Open Form and Marxist-Leninism in Norway around 1970
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:200, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The thesis begins with the observation of a radical, political impulse appearing in the architectural debate in Norway in 1970, expressed by the movements of Open Form and Marxist-Leninist architects. Compared to the ... -
Effects of Orientations, Aspect Ratios, Pavement Materials and Vegetation Elements on Thermal Stress inside Typical Urban Canyons
