I ZEB, og som en del av arbeidspakke 5 "Konsepter og strategier for nullutslippsbygg", er det gjennomført en studie av to energikonsepter for boligområdet Ådland i Bergen. Ådland ligger ved Flesland rett sør for Bergen sentrum. ByBo AS ønsker å bygge ut fra 500 – 800 boliger på området hvor både de enkelte boligene og området som helhet skal oppfylle kriterier for nullutslippsbygg. I ZEB er det definert ulike ambisjonsnivå for nullutslippsbygg. Den gjennomførte studien anbefaler et ambisjonsnivå ZEB-O som et gjennomsnitt for Ådland området. ZEB-O betyr at området skal være selvforsynt med energi, inklusive elektrisitet og varme, over et…

Addressing the problem of knowledge integration across the building sectors, a critical stance is taken and tested conceptually, as well as experimentally within an interdisciplinary frame that draws together a number of key literatures from architecture, building science, urban studies, and STS. Empirically, the thesis is supported by a set of interviews and questionnaires that form a grounded case of Switzerland, which evaluates the assumptions and practices around sustainability policies and carbon reduction strategies for buildings and the built environment. As an article based dissertation comprised of four articles that are summarized below, the thesis aims to constructively connect theoretical…

A Norwegian ZEB-definition embodied emission

Authors:
Publication Year:
2014
This report deals with how 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. Different ambition levels for ZEBs may include life stages, operation, material, construction and end-of-life and can be documented according to EN 15978. Calculation procedures should include system boundaries, embodied emissions from materials, transport, the construction process and waste handling according to the ambition level. CO2 eq…

Influence of occupants’ behavior on the performance of Net-Zero Emission Buildings

Authors:

2014
This thesis investigates how the occupant behavior influences the performance of residential net zero emission buildings (Net-ZEB) in cold climates such as in Norway, and proposes guidelines for better design, operation and control strategies. The thesis focuses on the occupant related variations in the internal gains and the domestic hot water use, and studies their influence on the building’s heating needs, its heating system performance and finally, its interaction with the onsite renewable generation and the grid. The application of the tightly insulated envelope in Net-ZEB significantly reduces the space heating needs. This increases the share of the occupant-related heat…

Klassifisering av robusthet

Authors:
Publication Year:

Rapporten inneholder et forslag til system for klassifisering av byggetekniske løsningers robusthet. Hensikten med et slikt klassifiseringssystem skal gjøre det lettere for aktører i byggenæringen å velge løsninger og materialer tilpasset ønsket kvalitetsnivå, stedlig klima og den utførendes kompetanse. Byggenæringen må i større grad enn tidligere forholde seg til mange produkter med til dels overlappende bruksområde. Det kan være svært vanskelig å få oversikt over forskjeller i teknisk kvalitet og hvilke produkter som er mest hensiktsmessig i det enkelte byggeprosjekt.

A survey among relevant consultants and contractors shows the need for better knowledge and more systematic information in order to make decisions regarding the selection of system for energy supply of ZEBs (Zero Emission Buildings). The ZEB centre aims to develop a computerbased tool for this purpose that will include both a calculation tool and an information database. This assignment will be part of this development. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the cost optimality of different energy systems for a ZEB using the European cost optimal methodology introduced in the context of the EPBD (Energy Performance…

Isolering og fuktsikring av yttervegger mot terreng. Målinger i forsøksvegg

Mange fuktproblemer viser at det er viktig å velge veggkonstruksjoner mot terreng med god sikkerhet mot skader. God sikkerhet mot kondensskader får man ved å plassere all isolasjon på utsiden eller inne i veggen. Men i svært mange nye byggeprosjekter i dag blir det benyttet en plass-støpt betongvegg som isoleres utvendig og innvendig. Den innvendige isolasjonen er ofte en bindingsverkvegg. Denne rapporten presenterer resultater fra målinger i et lite forsøkshus med en denne typen yttervegg mot terreng. Huset er bygd ved lokalene til SINTEF Byggforsk i Oslo

Kondensfare uluftede loft. Feltundersøkelse

Tradisjonelt har norske småhus hatt et kaldt loft med lufteåpninger i takutstikket. Luftingen av loftet skulle både sørge for en kald takflate og hindre fuktskader på undertak og taksperrer. De siste årene har det blitt vanligere at småhus bygges med et uluftet, kaldt loftsrom. I stedet brukes et dampåpent undertak og lufting under taktekkingen. En del slike loftsrom har fått kondens og vekst av muggsopp på undertaket. Denne rapporten viser årsaker og viktige tiltak for å unngå problemet.
