Prosjektet "1, 2, 3! Boliger" har studert hvordan en bolig oppleves fra flyktningenes perspektiv. Flyktninger som bosettes i kommuner, får tildelt en bolig ved hjelp av kommunen. Kommunene har et ansvar for å stille med plass å bo for de som klassifiseres som vanskeligstilte, herunder regnes også...

...in this report. ZEB is a national centre dedicated to research, innovation, and implementation within the field of energy efficient zero emission buildings. The Research Council of Norway assigned The Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art at NTNU to host one of eight new national centers for Environment‐friendly...

...tools for analysing operation and expansion of local energy systems and is written in WP5 in the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN). WP5 in FME ZEN aims to develop and apply methodologies that identify the socioeconomic optimal operation and expansion of energy systems...

Climate change has led to an increased risk of damage to buildings and infrastructure. Norwegian municipalities have intensified their efforts to address climate change adaptation and the prevention of climate-related damage due to natural hazards. The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB)...

STF78 A034506   The aim of this study was to establish an overview over pressure relieving and pressure distributing properties of a selection of seat cushions available in the Norwegian market, and to document level of discomfort for persons seated in the same static position for a longer period of...

This report describes a modular approach to the modelling and analysis of risk scenarios with mutual dependencies. The presented approach may be used to deduce the risk-level of an overall system from previous risk analyses of its constituent systems. It may also be used to decompose the analysis of...

...state-of-the-art of the most important advanced network operation functions today and their role in the future control center of the Norwegian distribution network. A summary of the today’s control center architecture and future architecture proposals such as EPRI’s model of the control center of the...

This report provides an overview of standards, methods, certification schemes, tools, and previous studies related to the carbon footprint (CF) of seafood, both in general but especially related to fishing vessels and refrigeration systems. The aim is to give various perspectives on CF estimations for...

Flow diagnostics are simple and controlled numerical flow experiments run to probe a reservoir model, establish connections and basic volume estimates, and measure heterogeneity in flow paths. All these quantities are quick to compute and can thus be used interactively to explore fluid communication...

...definition, key performance indicators (KPI), and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN research centre). This fifth version of the ZEN definition builds upon previous versions of the ZEN definition report and the ZEN definition guideline series (1)...

...technical maturity and regulatory readiness is crucial. This study focuses specifically on the Levanger-Ytterøy ferry service, evaluating the technical and regulatory feasibility of unmanned operation for passenger ferries. The analysis covers three operational phases (at port, near port, and coastal sailing)...

...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 robustness poses a challenge, particularly when...

In this report we summarize the results from our work on requirements and design of social software for co-creation in Living Labs, conducted within the SociaLL project. The intended readership of the report is practitioners and researchers working with user involvement in innovation processes. First...

...safeguarding user needs and comfort. FLEXor is an optimization tool for flexible energy use, storage and generation in buildings, that generates optimal load profiles in response to grid signals, such as dynamic energy prices, thus facilitating energy planning and optimal system dimensioning and control It comprises...

...fish face injury and mortality risks from turbines and hydraulic structures due to cavitation, pressure drops, blade strikes, and hydraulic shear. Waterproof autonomous sensors measured these risks by tracking pressure changes and strike events. The study, conducted at the Funnefoss and Kongsvinger power...
