• Green Building in the Arctic Region: State-of-the-Art and Future Research Opportunities 

      Ravasio, Lucrezia; Sveen, Svein-Erik; Riise, Raymond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-10)
      The concept of Green Building refers to environmentally friendly constructions with the target of minimizing the impact on the natural environment through sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life cycle. Since modern buildings are large contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, policies and international strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint ...
    • Green Buildings in the Arctic region: a literature review 

      Ravasio, Lucrezia; Riise, Raymond; Sveen, Svein-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-30)
      Green Buildings are defined as environmental-friendly buildings aimed at minimizing the impact on the natural environment through a sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life-cycle. This is, perhaps, a recently-introduced building concept that is increasingly gaining attention due to the policies and strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional buildings, which ...
    • Simplified Thermal Performance Evaluation of a PCM-Filled Triple-Glazed Window under Arctic Climate Conditions 

      Riise, Raymond; Calay, Rajnish K; Ravasio, Lucrezia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-02)
      This paper evaluates the thermal performance of a triple-glazed glass window filled with a phase-change material (PCM) compared to the performance of a traditional triple-glazed window with air gaps. The chosen PCM was paraffin wax. A mathematical model to simulate heat transfer within the system was presented. A commercially available software, COMSOL Multiphysics, was used to numerically solve ...
