Comparison of the Energy Performance between Flat-plate and Heat Pipe Evacuated Tube Collectors for Solar Water Heating Systems under Mediterranean Climate Conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this paper, the energy performance of a flat-plate collector and a heat pipe evacuated tube collector exploited for domestic hot water production in the Mediterranean climate is compared. For this purpose, yearly data ... -
Comparison of the Energy Saving Potential of Adaptive and Controllable Smart Windows - A State-of-the-Art Review and Simulation Studies of Thermochromic, Photochromic and Electrochromic Technologies
(Master thesis, 2018)Today s building sector in the EU stands for about 40 % of the total energy consumption and about 75 % of all buildings are energy inefficient. By making both the new and the existing buildings smarter and more energy ... -
Comparison of the Energy Saving Potential of Adaptive and Controllable Smart Windows: A State-of-the-Art Review and Simulation Studies of Thermochromic, Photochromic and Electrochromic Technologies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Windows play a huge role in today’s buildings, allowing for outside view and providing occupants with daylight. However, windows are also often considered to be one of the weakest building components with respect to high ... -
Comparison of the environmental assessment of an identical office building with national methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The IEA EBC Annex 72 focuses on the assessment of the primary energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts of buildings during production, construction, use (including repair and replacement) and end ... -
Comparison of the hydraulic capacity of different culvert inlet designs under sediment transport conditions
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Culverts are important hydraulic structures whose main purpose is to safely convey water through infrastructures crossing streams (e.g. roads). Several design guidelines exist for clear water conditions, but none ... -
Comparison of the microbiomes of two drinking water distribution systems—with and without residual chloramine disinfection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Residual disinfection is often used to suppress biological growth in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), but not without undesirable side effects. In this study, water-main biofilms, drinking water, ... -
Comparison of the NGI-ADP and AUS soil models for slope stability involving anisotropic clays
(Master thesis, 2021)En ny jordmodell som kan inkorporere anisotrop skjærstyrke har nylig blitt tilgjengelig for offentlig bruk. Denne modellen, kalt AUS jordmodell, er en totalspenningsbasert modell og opererer basert på direkte innføring av ... -
Comparison of the Svee and Thoma Stability Criteria for Mass Oscillations in Surge Tanks
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis discusses two different criteria for the stability of surge tanks in hydropower plants. In 1910, the first stability criterion was derived by Dieter Thoma. This criterion sets a minimum cross-sectional area for ... -
Comparison of trihalomethanes in the air of two Indoor swimming pool facilities using different type of chlorination and different types of water
(Journal article, 2017)Certain aspects of the distribution of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the air of indoor swimming pools, the exposure of the users, and possible health effects, have not been well documented. To determine the distribution ... -
Comparison of two hydrodynamic models for their rain-on-grid technique to simulate flash floods in steep catchment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this study, two hydrodynamic models, TELEMAC-2D and HEC-RAS 2D, were compared for their Rain-on-Grid (RoG) technique with a particular focus on runoff generation processes in a small and steep catchment. Curve number ... -
A comparison of two seawater adaptation strategies for Atlantic salmon post-smolt (Salmo salar) grown in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS): Nitrification, water and gut microbiota, and performance of fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The land-based production phase in Norwegian Atlantic salmon farming has the past years been extended to include post-smolt for an increasing number of farmers. Post-smolt production can involve introduction of brackish/seawater ... -
A Competency Model for the Selection and Performance Improvement of Project Managers in Collaborative Construction Projects: Behavioral Studies in Norway and Finland.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Collaborative work practices are getting more common in construction projects. Consequently, new project delivery models have emerged and new practices have also entered the world of traditional delivery models. The resultant ... -
