The concept of emission free construction sites (EFCS) has emerged as a prioritised measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Norwegian construction activities. EFCS have been evaluated through several pilot projects in Southern Norway, whilst none are found in Northern Norway. This study aims...
The Norwegian construction industry is responsible for ca. 2.2 million tonnes CO2eq in 2021. The rise in GHG emissions, noise and air pollution in the built environment is becoming a potential hazard due to the large growth of construction activities within cities. As a response, actors from the...
The decarbonisation of the construction sector is critical to meet national and international climate goals. Literature gives many examples of measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from buildings. However, few studies investigate the tradeoffs between potentially conflicting...
Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most common methods to determine in-situ rock stress. The interpretation of the shut-in pressure to determine the minor principal stress is an important element of this method, and many different methods to interpret shut-in pressure have been studied and developed...
Air quality is a problematic issue in many urban areas in the world, and transport contributes to this. This study investigates attitudes towards a piloted low emission zone (LEZ) and distance-based differentiated road user charging (RUC) system. Both policy instruments are likely to be implemented...
The impact of Photovoltaic (PV) installations on the fire safety of buildings must be considered in all building projects where such energy systems are established. The holistic fire safety of the building largely depends on how the fire safety of the PV installation is considered by the different...
Off-site construction is considered as environmentally preferable to on-site due to the controlled environment for planning and production before assembly in the construction site. However, evaluating the actual environmental benefits and drawbacks from a life cycle perspective is important to avoid...
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) have become increasingly popular in urban areas due to their potential to provide zero-emission energy in buildings. BIPVs enable the use of MO of photovoltaic (PV) modules, resulting in multiple generation peaks throughout the day, which can closely match...
Psychological safety is a precondition for learning and success in software teams. But what happens to psychological safety when work becomes remote? In this article, we explore how Norwegian software developers experienced remote work under the pandemic and after restrictions were waved and...
Economical offshore wind developments depend on alternatives for cost-efficient transmission of the generated energy to connecting markets. Distance to shore, availability of an offshore power grid and scale of the wind farm may impede export through power cables. Conversion to H2 through offshore...
In this paper, we extend the pragmatic model for alumina feeding, presented in Johansen et al. Light metals 2022, to treat the associated evolution of bath temperature. The underlying idea of the framework is to reduce its computational overhead to allow for very fast simulation of the dissolved...
