Carbon dioxide-based occupancy estimation using stochastic differential equations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the existing building stock, heating, cooling and ventilation usually run on fixed schedules, in many cases, even all day. In particular, ventilation systems often run with a constant air flow rate that is adjusted based ... -
A Markov-Switching model for building occupant activity estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Heating and ventilation strategies in buildings can be improved significantly if information about the current presence and activity level of the occupants is taken into account. Therefore, there is a high demand for ... -
European summer temperatures since Roman times
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The spatial context is critical when assessing present-day climate anomalies, attributing them to potential forcings and making statements regarding their frequency and severity in a long-term perspective. Recent international ... -
Aksjonisme og bymiljøvernet
(Chapter, 2019)Aksjonar som politisk uttrykksform prega debatten rundt vern og fornying av byar og tettstader den siste halvdelen av 1900-talet. Aksjonane utfordra funksjonalismens planleggingsideal med vekt på modernisering og fornying ... -
Selbukassa - A Case Study for Aiming at Low Emission Buildings through Extensive Reuse of Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent reports from UN International Resource Panel call for double decoupling – decoupling of material use and related environmental impacts from economic growth. The construction and use of buildings constitute a significant ... -
The Impact of Tourism in the Historic Town of Fenghuang, China and the Changes in Buildings and Inter-Building Public Spaces
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:255, Doctoral thesis, 2019) -
Perspectives from 2037-Can environmental impact assessment be the solution for an early consideration of climate change-related impacts?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Consideration of climate change in environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a rather novel topic, which became partly mandatory through the revised EU Directive on EIA. Through a mixed-methods approach involving key-actors ... -
Quantifying Environmental Impacts of Temporary Housing at the Urban Scale: Intersection of Vulnerability and Post-Hurricane Relief in New Orleans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The increasing risk and exposure of people and assets to natural hazards and disasters suggests an increasing need for temporary housing following disasters. Resilience to natural hazards is dependent on the resources ... -
Towards new design of laser cut acrylic panels for windows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper builds upon existing research into laser cut panels and aims to find new design-patterns that would improve daylighting conditions of existing rooms when applying the laser-cut panels on vertical windows. The ... -
CO2-based grey-box model to estimate airflow rate and room occupancy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the existing building stock, heating, cooling and ventilation often run on fixed schedules assuming maximal occupancy. However, fitting the control of the HVAC system to the building’s real demand offers large potential ... -
Temperature and thermal comfort in office spaces: measurements vs. simulations
(Chapter, 2019)A deviation between the calculated and the measured data of energy use in buildings (known as performance gap) has been extensively reported. The aim of this study is to identify the underlying causes of the deviation ... -
Dynamic simulation and parametric analysis of solar assisted desiccant cooling system with three configuration schemes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Evaporative cooling of the dehumidified air in a desiccant cooling system with the aid of solar energy is an attractive energy saving option to cool the process air for air conditioning purposes. This paper is concerned ... -
Numerical modeling and parametric study of an innovative solar oven
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A unique design of a double glazed box-type solar oven with flat foldable external reflectors at the top and front and an internal reflector beneath the L-shaped absorber plate is numerically and parametrically studied. ... -
Facade Integrated Photovoltaic, state of the art of Experimental Methodology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The concept of Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is one of the most promising strategies to employ clean energy in the built environment. Up to now, the PVs have been applied mostly on roofs, but since the total ... -
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 ... -
Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Resources Threatened by Climate Change
(Book, 2019)This book presents a print version of the Special Issue of the journal Geosciences dedicated to the “Preservation of Cultural Heritage and Resources Threatened by Climate Change.” With a wide spectrum of data, case studies, ... -
Development and validation of a Monte Carlo-based numerical model for solar analyses in urban canyon configurations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Highly- and retro-reflective materials have recently been investigated and proposed as a new urban coating solution to reduce the so-called urban heat island effect. The present study aims at providing a numerical model ... -
Perimeter blocks in different forms - Aspects of daylight and view
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The perimeter blocks in cities are usually rectangular and follow the streets. The buildings are mostly of similar height within each block. However, perimeter blocks can be developed in many various ... -
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 ... -
Perimeter Blocks in Nordic Towns - How latitude affect daylighting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)One of the design principles for future sustainable towns is compactness. The densification of cities is very much needed, but it usually compromises the access of daylight. Densification is especially challenging in the ...
