The focus on performance robustness has become paramount in the context of buildings and neighbourhoods, where uncertainties from variables like occupancy and weather scenarios significantly impact their performance.
Selecting a building/neighbourhood design that excels in both performance and...
This report provides an overview of service life models and parameters linked to reinforced concrete structures suffering from chloride induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement. All deterioration phases from chloride ingress to corrosion initiation, propagation and concrete cracking/spalling are...
How can we ensure that buildings/areas are realized as intended? How can we ensure good processes for a zero-emission area? What are the possibilities, limitations, and effects of collaboration in meeting ambitious goals?
Addressing these questions is critical because in many projects something is...
We study the integration of digitization, smart scheduling, local renewable energy production, and variable energy prices in different industrial com panies to make an optimization entity for industrial cluster energy use. We discuss two energy optimization approaches: a centralized choice for all...
The method for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in zero emission neighbourhoods (ZEN) requires clarification on a set of methodological aspects. This is due to differing approaches in established methods, such as EN 15978, NS 3720, and FutureBuilt ZERO, as well as methodological...
Here, we present a study of the power consumption for different vessel
types, and list some of the highest loaded consumers in different operations. In this brief study we are using Electrical Power Load Analysis (EPLA)
as the data source. This also comes with a few shortcomings and the results...
