...to define what a Zero Emission Building (ZEB) is with explanation and analysis of different parameters related to embodied emissions of CO₂ equivalents. The report can be used as a guidance tool on how to assess embodied emissions, and also on what parameters should be evaluated in such an assessment...

...establishing systems and solutions for maintaining the function of the barriers throughout the lifetime of an offshore or onshore petroleum facility. It covers guidance on how to identify and define barriers and barrier elements, how to formulate performance requirements for the barrier elements and how to monitor...

The increased use of electric vehicles (EVs) calls for new and innovative solutions for charging infrastructure. At the same time, it is desirable to improve the energy flexibility of neighbourhoods. This paper presents state-of-the-art for smart EV charging systems, with focus on Norway. The aim of...

...is to provide a guideline for how the assessment criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) covered under each category of the ZEN definition (GHG emissions, energy, power/load, mobility, economy and spatial qualities) may be assessed and followed up in ZEN pilot projects. The guidelines explain...

...intra-hospital clinical environments as operating rooms and critical care environments like dedicated intensive care units, requires use of an increasing number of point-of-care medical devices with sensors attached to the patient to monitor and generate information for clinical decision making to support...

SMARTFISH H2020 is to develop, test and promote a suite of high-tech systems for the EU fishing sector, thereby optimising resource efficiency, improving automatic data collection for fish stock assessment, provide evidence of compliance with fishery regulations and reduce the ecological impact of the...

This research report provides results from a study on living conditions among people with and without activity limitations in Matabeleland, Manicaland and Midlands, Zimbabwe. The study began in 2001 and was completed in 2003....

...out with the aim of characterisation of the peat. The characterisation includes ultimate and proximate analysis of peat pellets, TGA experiments and multi-fuel reactor experiments. Main results are presented and discussed....

Sustainability and traceability of food products have received increased attention due to food safety, consumer demand on knowledge of the origin of their food and reducing food fraud. In recent years, traceability systems have been used to document and share sustainability information in food supply...

...potential to support a more sustainable world by digitalizing various daily-life tasks and industrial processes. On the other hand, the global energy consumption of IoT devices is already gigantic. The energy consumption and the e-waste of IoT devices will increase considerably since the number of devices...

Malawi. Comparisons are made between individuals with and without disabilities and also between households with and without a disabled family member. Results obtained in Malawi are also compared those obtained in earlier studies carried out in Namibia and Zimbabwe.The Malawian study was undertaken in 2003...

...new application areas and they can substitute high-cost manual labor in 4D (dirty, dull, distant or dangerous) environments. This can contribute to a reduction of production costs and improved environment, health and safety (EHS) issues, as well as growth in a global market. More and more industries see...

...functional safety, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and management of change. Methods for updating failure rates and optimising test intervals are presented. The document is an update of SINTEFs SIS follow-up guideline published in 2008 and 2021...

...component, and in Work Package 5 - Seed/ing, Deployment and Harvest Technology- the objective is to identify requirements and bottlenecks for industrial scale seedling production systems, and evaluate and develop concepts for deployment and harvest operations. In order to understand the limitations and potential...

This report presents a framework and methodology to develop indicators to monitor the vulnerability of the electric power grid. It establishes a scientific foundation by defining vulnerability and the different dimensions threat, susceptibility, coping capacity and criticality. The process of indicator...

...solutions of Grass, Algae and Insects; their economic viability, logistics of a new and established chain, and impacts on other related chains. Mathematical optimisation was chosen as modelling tool, and the BROMo model was developed partly in this project. Result indicate Algae and Grass feed have good potential...

...of an overview and a summary of the mechanical behaviour of pipeline steels (in the range of X42-X70) when exposed to electrochemical charging and gaseous hydrogen environment. Experimental data from tensile-, fracture -and fatigue tests in air and hydrogen environment are addressed and presented in correlation...

...(road, sea, rail and air). The specifications also are harmonised across freight and person transport. By providing such coordinated and harmonised specifications and a holistic approach, ARKTRANS provides a generic and simplified view upon the transport sector that will contribute to new and improved ITS...

Department (ED) of Ålesund sykehus to enhance patient care and theworkday for nurses. The objective was two-fold and involved addressing nurse understaffing and optimising rostering efficiency. We analysed care demand and nurse capacity and identified a misalignment. Based on this, we designed a new...

...is a deliverable from WP2 of the Design and verification of Large Floating Costal Structures (LFCS) KPN project. The environmental loads arise from wind, waves and current actions. The report starts with a review of physical effects contributing to the loads and methods used to calculate them. Regarding...
