The market share for fibre reinforced aerogel insulation materials is expected to increase as production costs are lowered, and in this context, the development of layered products with integrated aerogel is highly interesting. The effect of uniaxial compression and humidity on the thermal...
The purpose of this paper is to make a risk- and vulnerability analysis for the use of EPS formwork blocks in 4-storey apartment buildings. This abstract presents an ongoing study. EPS is defined as combustible insulation by the Norwegian building regulations [1], which limits the preaccepted use to...

Jackon har i samarbeid med Norgeshus, Solid Entreprenør og SINTEF utviklet løsninger for Thermomur byggesystem for bruk i boligbygninger i 4 etasjer. Løsningene som er utviklet er brannsikre, kostnadseffektive og bærekraftige. Prosjektet er gjennomført som et innovasjonsprosjekt med økonomisk støtte...
Multi-family apartment buildings have the highest energy demand in Europe, consuming 68% of the total final energy use in buildings in Europe (Economidou et al., 2011). Most of them were built between 1945 and 1980 and are now ready for retrofitting and have a huge energy-saving potential. The...
Denne rapporten omhandler trinnvis oppgradering av eneboliger fra seksti-, sytti- og åttitallet til dagens forskriftsnivå eller bedre. Med en trinnvis plan kan flere boligeiere se seg råd til oppgradering, og boligmassen blir mer energivennlig. Utgangspunktet er typisk arkitektur, byggemåte...
This abstract is based on work carried out in RetroKit, Toolboxes for systemic retrofitting within the FP7 programme. Multi-family apartment buildings have the highest energy demand in Europe, consuming 68% of the total final energy use in buildings in Europe, 2009 . Most of them were built...
Insulation products made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) are commonly utilized in buildings. However, Norwegian building regulations restrict the use of such combustible insulation due to an increased risk of fire spread and generation of smoke and toxic gases. Installation of fire protection...
This report deals with how to define what a Zero Emission Building (ZEB) is with explanation and analysis of different parameters related to embodied emissions of CO2 equivalents. The report can be used as a guidance tool on how to assess embodied emissions, and also on what parameters should be...
I ZEB, og som en del av arbeidspakke 5 "Konsepter og strategier for nullutslippsbygg", er det gjennomført en studie av to energikonsepter for boligområdet Ådland i Bergen. Ådland ligger ved Flesland, rett sør for Bergen sentrum. ByBo AS ønsker å bygge ut fra 500 til 800 boliger på området, der både...
This report presents the results from a sensitivity analysis regarding the influence of using emission data from Norwegian EPD’s instead of the generic data from Ecoinvent, using different CO2eq-factors (for electricity in the operational phase) and electricity load from household appliances on the...

Forord. Byggenæringen genererer mye avfall, og både rehabilitering og nybygging krever store mengder byggematerialer. I dag er byggematerialene stort sett nye og dessuten i høy grad lagd av jomfruelige råvarer. Ombruk av byggematerialer kan gi miljøgevinster som er helt nødvendige for en bærekraftig...
Preface. The construction industry generates a good deal of waste, and both rehabilitation and new construction require large quantities of building materials. At present, building materials in use are mostly new and also to a large extent manufactured from virgin raw materials. Reuse of building...
The NorDan solar collector is a window/solar collector combination which can be mounted as a traditional window in the façade of a new building. The component is originally designed for new buildings, but the research and experiments carried out in Retrokit2 focus on developing solutions for...
