Jelle B.P., Mofid S.A., Grandcolas M., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), NO

As the world is turning its focus even more towards aspects like energy efficiency and renewable and non-polluting energy harvesting, including the building sector, the quest has been set for developing high-performance thermal insulation materials [...]

High-Performance Nano Insulation Materials for Energy-Efficient Buildings

Jelle B.P., Tilset B.G., Gao T., Grandcolas M., Løvvik O.M., Bohne R.A., Mofid S.A., Ng S., Sagvolden E., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and, SINTEF Building and Infrastructure, NO

High-performance nano insulation materials (Hi-Per NIM) may be developed by exploiting the Knudsen effect for reduced thermal conductivity and thus make thermal insulation materials with a nanoporous air-filled structure. Hence, these NIMs are supposed to [...]

Utilization of Hollow Silica Nanospheres for thermal Insulation Purposes

Mofid S.A., Jelle B.P., Gao T., NTNU, NO

Insulation materials play critical role in efforts made by governments to meet global, regional and national energy efficient targets. As a result of heavy energy cost and environmental concerns, insulation has once again become a [...]

A Review of Research Pathways and Opportunities for Building Integrated Photovoltaics from a Materials Science Perspective

Jelle B.P., Ng S., Mofid S.A., Gao T., SINTEF Building and Infrastructure / Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), NO

The demand for energy-efficient and energy-harvesting buildings is increasing, hence initiating the exploration of miscellaneous solutions. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) may in this respect represent a powerful and versatile tool for achieving the ever increasing [...]
