...been to do modeling and calculations of the energy use, embodied emission and the total CO₂-emission for a typical Norwegian residential building. By doing this we try to reveal and study the main drivers for the CO₂-emission, and also which performance is necessary for components and solutions in a Zero...

Minnesund in Akershus. The investigations were conducted by Senior Research Scientist Dagfin Gryteselv and PhD Research Fellow Anne Lalagüe. The purpose of these measurements is to determine asphalt and base layers thickness, in preparation for rehabilitation works....

...components and structure of such systems, describe a number of general-purpose components that can be developed once and then reused in many different contexts, and give practical advice for implementers. We also provide concrete examples of decision support systems for a variety of maritime systems and operations...

A literature review was conducted to obtain more reliable primary (biotransformation) and ultimate (biomineralization) biodegradation rates for compounds in produced water for the DREAM model, than the current biodegradation data. During the literature review, it became apparent that many compounds lacked...

...the Future – Phase 1 is complete, and the objectives are all fully or partially fulfilled. The work has been performed in accordance to plan, and the results are promising towards the next phase. The networking activities have given good feedback from industry, and several have committed to participating...

...concrete structures. Both diffusivity and permeability of reinforced concrete related to gas and liquid penetration are covered, without focus on any specific gas or liquid. This report gives an overview of factors that may affect the tightness, especially related to cracks and low temperatures. The report also...

...early user test of vacuum insulation embedded in clay blocks, a solution developed within ZEB. The product is in an early stage of its development and is not taken into use in any building projects yet. Therefore, the evaluation is not based on experiences but on expectations towards this product....

...filter sampling of particulate matter in flue gas from chimney and diluted flue gas from dilution tunnel, on hot filter (≥ 70 ˚C) and on ambient filter (≤ 35 ˚C) respectively, to determine to which extent variables inherent to EN 13240 DIN+ and NS3058-59 affect the amount of measured particulate matter...

...160 small and medium-sized waterworks in Norway are using membranes for treatment of raw water with high content of natural organic material (NOM). Most of the membrane-based waterworks use nanofiltration (NF) as treatment process. The first NF facilities were commissioned late 1980s, and it is anticipated...

...application cases and a more general consideration of the integration of heat pumps compared to electric boiler. The heat pump systems of a distillation column and a dairy are assessed and benchmarked against a natural gas boiler and an electric boiler in Norway, Austria, France, Germany and Europe. The key...

...consisted of two spill samples and three source samples in addition to four samples from ln-situ-burning (ISB) from lighter refined products. The samples have been prepared by SINTEF. A large mysterious oil slick was observed drifting in the Norwegian Sea in the morning and it was assumed that this was...

...according to different purposes, correspondence between measured and calculated energy use and future trends in the energy use. The building categories discussed in more detail are office buildings, commercial buildings, hospitals and educational buildings. The energy use in these building types varies...

...companies' research interactions, and cooperating broadly in order to discover, facilitate, and release innovation initiatives with great potential for growth. The most important measures have been to develop, diffuse, and anchor a new body of thought among policy and public support actors, to co-ordinate...

...topof ‘Biskop Gunnerus gate 14’ in Oslo. Measurements of wind, electricityproduction and noise were taken and correlated. The results show a good match. Technicalchallenges during the whole project are described and the strengths andweaknesses of the wind turbines are discussed. The conclusions highlight...

...between the neighbourhood, housing and services for residents with a variety of different needs in the Havstein district in Trondheim. This analysis follows on from the project A Neighbourhood for Everyone? Housing Services for Younger People with Disabilities (Wågø and Høyland, 2016), where we learned...

...for WP 4 is to develop knowledge, technologies and solutions for design and operation of energy flexible neighbourhoods. 4th generation district heating is evaluated as a sustainable solution for covering the heating demand in Zero Emission Neighbourhoods and reducing the strain on the electricity grid...

...used in offline and real time production optimization and reservoir management. The main aim of this work is to investigate the use of simple linear and non-linear models applied to oil field data. Fast generation of GOR may improve reservoir optimization schemes, production optimization and allocation calculations...

...two-zone furnace. In the furnace, SiO is formed through combining Si and SiO2 at high temperature. The furnace was therefore modified with optical windows to allow for non-contact measurements. The experiments have been performed during 2023 and 2024. The continuous measurements of SiO emission spectra from...

...sectors, value chains are disrupted and new approaches to spare parts management can be adopted. This report provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art regarding AM for the production of spare parts, along with complementary technologies including digital warehouses and distributed manufacturing. Initiatives...
