SINTEF Community is a research institute for the sustainable development of buildings, infrastructure and mobility. We create value for our customers and society through research and development, research-based consultancy, certification and knowledge dissemination through, among others, the SINTEF Building Research Design Guides. We offer specialist expertise in areas such as architecture, building, water, transport, digital transport solutions and economics. We develop future solutions for the built society.
Waiting until water damage occurs is expensive. But it also doesn’t make financial sense to replace pipes too early. We looked into the best time to do it.
Different building materials carry different climate footprints. Norwegian natural stone, such as Otta slate, turns out to have surprisingly good properties as a façade material.
In order to achieve a circular future, waste treatment needs to evolve. A new report from SINTEF-led project, CircWtE, explores how to do just that.
