Net zero greenhouse gas emission residential building concepts for warm climates
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:1, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Combating climate change and reducing the environmental impacts of human activities is the most urgent and challenging science and policy issue of the current time. Over 32% of global energy use and nearly 40% of global ... -
Energy profiles and electricity flexibility potential in apartment buildings with electric vehicles – A Norwegian case study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Energy flexibility in buildings has the potential to reduce the grid burden of neighbourhoods, yet its practical implementation remains limited. This paper presents a data-based case study from Norway, examining the ... -
The effects of learning environments on student active learning
(Chapter, 2023)Student active learning has been shown to have a significant positive effect on learning outcomes as experienced by students. The learning environments where these activities take place are often simplified to describe the ... -
Exploring the capability of acoustic emission technique in early detecting mode I and mixed mode fractures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Acoustic Emission non-destructive technique was used coupled with Digital Image Correlation to explore its early warning capability in detecting Mode I and mixed Mode fractures in Scots pine samples. The acoustic behaviour ... -

A Cultural Landscape Emerges: Analyzing the Evolution of Two Historic North Pole Expedition Bases in Virgohamna, Svalbard, from Trash to a Protected Cultural Heritage Site
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The identification and preservation of cultural landscapes worthy of protection is a challenging task, as their significance is often not immediately apparent. Analyzing the process through which a site or landscape became ... -
Connected design decision networks: Multidisciplinary decision support for early building design LCA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the standard method to evaluate environmental impact throughout the life cycle of buildings. However, detailed data about the future building as well as knowledge about the mutual ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Recently Constructed “Climate Protection Neighbourhoods” – Which Lessons can be Drawn?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The results of a life cycle assessment of five recently finished housing projects in Northern Germany - all of them part of two certified climate protection neighbourhoods - point out the necessity of combining a variety ... -
The Problem of Ontology in Peter Eisenman’s Architectural Theory
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:385, Doctoral thesis, 2023)English summary Peter Eisenman is one of the leading architects and architectural theorists of the second half of the 20th century. This dissertation seeks to analyze his assumptions about the ontology of architectural ... -
Circularity evaluation as guidance for building design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Resource scarcity and global warming call for ambitious strategies in the construction sector to meet the ever-growing demand for indoor spaces with minimal resource consumption and positive environmental impacts. In line ... -
A method for generating complete EV charging datasets and analysis of residential charging behaviour in a large Norwegian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Electric vehicles (EVs) are part of the solution to achieve global carbon emissions reduction targets, and the number of EVs is increasing worldwide. Increased demand for EV charging can challenge the grid capacity of power ... -
Vestlia borettslag transformation: Element-based energy upgrade
(Master thesis, 2023)Vestlia Borettslag er et borettslag som består av 16 like boligblokker som ble bygget på 70-tallet og som har gjennomgått en rekke renoveringer siden ferdigstillelsen. Basert på en tidligere mulighetsstudie fra 2021, ... -
