• Aerogel-Incorporated Concrete: An Experimental Study 

      Gao, Tao; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gustavsen, Arild; Jacobsen, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Lightweight concrete can be prepared by replacing the normal aggregate of concrete, either partly or totally, with lightweight materials. In this work, by incorporating silica aerogel particles into concrete matrix, we ...
    • Avoiding snow and ice accretion on building integrated photovoltaics - challenges, strategies, and opportunities 

      Borrebæk, Per-Olof; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      As building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are becoming increasingly popular, the demand for optimized utilization will be increasing with respect to efficiency, aesthetics and reliability. In cold climate regions, we ...
    • A framework for classification of snow- and icephobicity 

      Borrebæk, Per-Olof; Rønneberg, Sigrid; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Klein-Paste, Alex; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For decades, there has been no proper thermodynamic definition of icephobicity. Some claim icephobic properties at an adhesion lower than 100 kPa, whereas others claim it when the accretion of ice is significantly prolonged. ...
    • Lightweight and Thermally Insulating Aerogel Glass Materials 

      Gao, Tao; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Gustavsen, Arild; He, Jianying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Glass represents an important and widely used building material, and crucial aspects to be addressed include thermal conductivity, visible light transmittance, and weight for windows with improved energy efficiency. In ...
    • Passive Snow Repulsion: A State-of-the-art Review Illuminating Research Gaps and Possibilities 

      Andersson, Per-Olof; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are becoming more common every day. They are used everywhere, from the cabin in the mountains to the modern apartment building, and with more common use, strengths and weaknesses ...
