(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:228, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Studies of wave-ice interactions include field and laboratory experiments, theoretical model developments, the implementation of these theoretical models in simulation tools, and the validation and calibration of these ... -
Photovoltaics on Landmark Buildings with Distinctive Geometries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This review study, framed in the Work group 4 “Photovoltaic in built environment” within the COST Action PEARL PV, CA16235, aims to examine applications of integrated and applied photovoltaic technologies on ten landmark ... -
Parametric Design to Maximize Solar Irradiation and Minimize the Embodied GHG Emissions for a ZEB in Nordic and Mediterranean Climate Zones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This work presents a validated workflow based on an algorithm developed in Grasshopper to parametrically control the building’s shape, by maximizing the solar irradiation incident on the building envelope and minimizing ... -
Strategic Research Agenda of the EERA Joint Programme Hydropower
(Research report, 2019)The launch of a new EERA Joint Programme on Hydropower is good news for energy system in Europe and beyond. The clean energy transition is necessary, demanding and accelerating. Hydropower in Europe and worldwide represents ... -
The Study of Facial Muscle Movements for Non-Invasive Thermal Discomfort Detection via Bio-Sensing Technology. Part I: Development of the Experimental Design and Description of the Collected Data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the time of climate change, as heat waves become a more regular occurrence, indoor thermal comfort is an important factor in day to day life. Due to such circumstances, many researchers have focused their studies on ... -
Exploring urban facilities management approaches to increase connectivity in smart cities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore how the discipline facilities management (FM) can be developed in a smart city perspective through considering the current and new FM services under the role of Urban FM, as ... -
Airtightness estimation – a state of the art review and an en route upper limit evaluation principle to increase the chances that wood-frame houses with a vapour- and wind-barrier comply with the airtightness requirements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)High airtightness is particularly important in order to achieve energy efficient buildings. Of this reason airtightness estimation is of interest. Over the past 30 years researchers have worked on airtightness estimation. ... -
Retention and detention-based roofs for stormwater management in urban environments in cold climates
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:305, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The combined effect of urbanization and climate change, which results in an increased level of imperviousness, is currently causing stress to urban drainage systems in urban areas unable to preserve the hydrological cycle ... -
Articulating the new urban water paradigm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urban water systems in industrialized countries have underpinned unprecedented improvements in urban living standards through effective drinking water supply, sanitation and drainage. However, conventional urban water ... -
Samspill i bygg- og anleggsprosjekter: teori og praksis
(Chapter, 2020)Samspill som kontraktstrategi har, i litteraturen, en rekke definisjoner. Mangfoldet av definisjoner gjør det vanskelig å konkretisere hva samspill egentlig er. Denne studien vil ta for seg hvordan samspill beskrives i ... -
Can Energy Depletion of Wild Atlantic Salmon Kelts Negotiating Hydropower Facilities Lead to Reduced Survival?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Repeat spawners constitute an important component of Atlantic salmon populations, but survival of post-spawning individuals (kelts) are often compromised by anthropogenic structures such as hydropower plants (HPPs). Potential ... -
Investigation of a screen structure for mitigating debris-flows along coastal roads
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:249, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Debris-flow is one of the major natural hazards in Norway. The mountainous terrains of Norway are exposed to debris-flow hazards in relation to extreme weather events resulting in intense and prolonged rainfall. This hazard ... -
Thermodynamic scaling of ice ridge consolidation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:297, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Laboratory and field experiments together with analytical and numerical simulations were performed to study the scaling of the ice ridge consolidation. Such experiments and corresponding thermodynamic models are an important ... -
Climate-Informed Planning and Design of Urban Water Systems
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:286, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Global warming is expected to cause alterations of the climate with potential impacts on urban water systems. As the knowledge base on climate change expands, and regional climate projections become increasingly available ... -
Snow adhesion mitigation on building integrated photovoltaics
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:274, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Solar energy is one of the main environmentally responsible forms of energy production and one that is very interesting for private citizens to invest in. The cost for private citizens to invest in solar energy, however, ... -
Benchmarking the vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from floor elements under impact excitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Rayleigh Integral Method, the Integral Transform Method and the Discrete Calculation Method are all vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from planar objects. Even though ... -
