However, electrification using inefficient heating technologies and without improvements in buildings’ energy efficiency can considerably increase the strain on the power grid and limit the decarbonization of other sectors, such as transport and industry. This study focuses on Norway, where direct electric...

The study proposes two types of BNs to infer probabilities of variables of existing buildings. The first BN is based on conditional probability tables and associations between global building variables. The second builds on this with detailed structural load variables via engineering equations from historical...

...civil engineering and real estate development sector in Norway. We have almost 100 members, varying from promising start-up companies to major entrepreneurs. Together we share knowledge and find new solutions on behalf of an entire industry. The construction, civil engineering and real estate development...

...pivotal for efficient offshore wind power generation and distribution. In addition, offshore energy hubs may provide decarbonised energy supply for maritime transport, oil and gas recovery, and offshore farming, while also enabling conversion and storage of liquefied decarbonised energy carriers for...

Hydrogen storage and purification processes represent two key steps in hydrogen fuel production and supply chain, and for this reason they have a critical role in the development of the hydrogen economy. On one hand, the use of carbon membranes can help to overcome some disadvantages of the already commercial...

...all food produced and processed in, or exported to, the European Union must comply with new standards codified in EU Regulation sets out food -safety principles and responsibilities. Compliance with these new regulations poses significant business challenges for food producers and processors worldwide...

Tramp shipping companies are committed to transport a set of contracted cargoes and try to derive additional revenue from carrying optional spot cargoes. Here, we present a real life ship routing and scheduling problem for a shipping company operating in project shipping, a special segment of tramp shipping...
