Moisture Accumulation in Building Façades Exposed to Accelerated Artificial Climatic Ageing—A Complementary Analysis to NT Build 495
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Building façades must endure severe climatic exposure throughout their lifetimes. To prevent damage and expensive repairs, ageing tests are used in durability assessments. The NT Build 495 describes an artificial ageing ... -
Norwegian Pitched Roof Defects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The building constructions investigated in this work are pitched wooden roofs with exterior vertical drainpipes and wooden load-bearing system. The aim of this research is to further investigate the building defects of ... -
Performance of Blue-Green Roofs in Cold Climates: A Scoping Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Green and blue-green roofs are emerging as an increasingly popular feature of rooftops, particularly in urban areas. Particular problematic conditions render their usage complex in the Nordic countries. In order to ensure ... -
Perspectives on Quality Risk in the Building Process of Blue-Green Roofs in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As climate change brings an increase in torrential rain events in Nordic climates, new technologies are developed to manage stormwater. Blue-green roofs are constructed as a means to reduce the runoff of stormwater from ... -
Public-Private Partnership: A Bibliometric Analysis and Historical Evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The broad and extensive application of public-private partnership (PPP), as well as the divergent documented definitions and experiences, have led to a translucent perspective of PPP and strained academia and industry to ... -
Rain Intrusion through Horizontal Joints in Façade Panel Systems - Experimental Investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Façade panel systems with horizontal open joints are commonly used on larger buildings in Nordic countries. Excessive water intrusion through open joints may cause deterioration of the façade, a concern exacerbated by ... -
A Review on the Use of Self-Curing Agents and Its Mechanism in High-Performance Cementitious Materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Self-cured concrete is a type of cement-based material that has the unique ability to mitigate the loss rate of water and increase the capacity of concrete to retain water compared to conventional concrete. The technique ... -
Reviewing the Potential of Phase Change Materials in Concrete Pavements for Anti-Freezing Capabilities and Urban Heat Island Mitigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study provides an overview of how phase change materials (PCMs) can improve the resistance of concrete pavement to freeze–thaw cycles and mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The investigation covers different ... -
Risk Reduction Framework for Blue-Green Roofs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)As climate change in the Nordic region brings an increase in extreme precipitation events, blue-green roofs have emerged as a solution for stormwater management, hereafter referred to as “blue-green roofs”. The addition ... -
Seismic Analysis of Baffle-Reinforced Elevated Storage Tank Using Finite Element Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The sloshing phenomenon is an important field of fluid dynamics in liquid storage tanks under earthquake excitation. When the sloshing frequency gets close to the liquid tank’s natural frequency, the resulting resonance ... -
The Impact of Insulation and HVAC Degradation on Overall Building Energy Performance: A Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Through monitoring of buildings, it can be proven that the performance of envelope elements and energy supply systems deteriorates with time. The results of this degradation are higher energy consumption and life cycle ... -
The State of the Art of Material Flow Analysis Research Based on Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling and Disposal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) are widely recognized as the main form municipal solid waste, and its recycling and reuse are an important issue in sustainable city development. Material flow analysis (MFA) ... -
A Tool for Calculating the Building Insulation Thickness for Lowest CO2 Emissions—A Greenlandic Example
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Increased insulation reduces the energy needed during operations, but this may be less than the energy required for the extra insulation material. If so, there must be an optimal insulation thickness. This paper describes ... -
Towards a LCA Database for the Planning and Design of Zero-Emissions Neighborhoods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The integration of science-based knowledge on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into practice-based neighborhood design and planning is key to inform and implement climate mitigation strategies. LCA is a method that is commonly ... -
Upgrading the Smartness of Retrofitting Packages Towards Energy-Efficient Residential Buildings in Cold Climate Countries: Two Case Studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings by implementing building automation control strategies (BACS) besides building envelope and energy system retrofitting has been recommended by the Energy Performance ... -
Water Vapour Resistance of Ceiling Paints - Implications for the Use of Smart Vapour Barriers in Compact Wooden Roofs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Smart vapour barriers enable building envelopes to dry toward the interior side. This property can be used in compact wooden roofs to create more slender structures by placing the wooden load-bearing elements inside the ...
