This technical report combines research results from the Norwegian Research Center on Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) and a competence project about simplified hydronic distribution funded by Husbanken. In the Norwegian definition of the passive house standard (NS3700), the current building code TEK10...

...feedback, knowledge, beliefs and norms since the economic dimension available in housing is inaccessible in non-residential buildings. The organizational context has shown to be important in influencing energy related behaviour at a workplace. In order to create a new energy culture and motivation for energy...

...durability and aesthetic appearance of concrete may be improved by the addition of hydrophobizing agents as a consequence of reduced water permeability. Hydrophobizing agents lead to less water absorption at the same time as they let water vapour out. This may lead to a dryer interior over time and thereby...

This report is the second annual report within the FlexBuild research project and summarises the main findings from the executed research work within the project's second year. Potential for local (small) and district (large) heating network (chapter 2) In the second year of FlexBuild, the modelling...

...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 overall ZEB residential building performance. The materials which contribute the most to the embodied...

Bakgrunn: Klimaendringer vil føre til økende belasting på bygninger og infrastruktur i Norge. For å forebygge skader, og forberede samfunnet på endringene, er det de siste årene utviklet et stor antall veiledere i klimatilpasning. I forskningssenteret Klima 2050 er det gjennomført en analyse av...

...measures that can contribute to greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction in the construction phase for the renovation project. GHG emission calculations and an additional cost analysis have been carried out for the different scenarios that are developed in collaboration with Tromsø municipality. The purpose...

...analyse the impact of natural hazards on cultural heritage objects. The methodology involves both qualitative and quantitative risk analysis approaches. In the qualitative risk analysis, probability and consequence classes based on NS 5815 are used. Probability classes are assigned to hazard events, while...

This report is a State of Art of how adaptation to context may influence the works and the interface of mobile information systems. Oppdragsgiver: FLAMINKO Project Group ...

Formation water in oil and gas fields contain elevated concentrations of several radionuclides compared with seawater. It is therefore of interest to track the fate of these radionuclides when they are released into the ocean along with the produced water stream. In this work we have simulated the fate...

...broodstock premises. Transfer of broodstock between tanks was carried out by WFTS and the traditional hand-carry method which includes a MS-222 anaesthesia step. Transfer of fish by WFTS was carried out by using sedated (AQUI-S) and not sedated fish. The state of the fish were evaluated in terms of stress,...

...blow out of oil and the effectiveness of subsea dispersant injection (SSDI). The droplet sizes documented by the SINTEF Silhouette Camera from comparable experiments (nozzle, oil type, flow rates, injection techniques and dispersant product) at ambient conditions (5 meters depth) and high pressure...

...curtains for lowering the sea surface temperature locally and regionally. Large scale simulations of this type have not been reported in the literature to our knowledge nor does large scale validation data exist. It is partly due to the latter and the cost involved in generating such validation data that...
